Your question lacks all the relevant details such as - but not limited to - the jurisdiction you are asking about. Unsurprisingly you will hardly find lawyers among this crowd and if you happened to find one, I doubt you'd get free advice. While we tend to be aware of legal implications of our actions in jurisdictions relevant to us, advice you get from us may be severely flawed. So for example despite our saying otherwise, you may still end up being sued. | |
