By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1) Who We Are / Legal Information
Heritance Law is a law firm providing legal services as permitted by applicable law. Information on the Site is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
Contact Information:
Heritance Law
2) No Legal Advice
Content on the Site (including articles, videos, posts, FAQs, downloadable materials, and general information) is provided for informational purposes only and may not reflect the most current legal developments. You should not act (or refrain from acting) based on Site content without obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
3) No Attorney–Client Relationship
Using this Site, submitting a form, sending an email, scheduling a consultation, initiating a chat, or sending a text message does not create an attorney–client relationship with Heritance Law.
An attorney–client relationship is formed only when:
-
we confirm in writing that we will represent you; and
-
you sign an engagement agreement (and any required retainer is paid).
4) Do Not Send Confidential or Time-Sensitive Information
Do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through:
-
website forms,
-
chat tools,
-
email,
-
SMS/text messaging,
-
social media messages, or
-
voicemail,
unless and until an attorney–client relationship is established in writing.
We cannot guarantee the security of communications sent through the Site or by standard email/text.

document coordination,

client communications (if you become a client),
