A living trust is a means of controlling property during your lifetime and causing it to be distributed after your death. It is often used instead of a will to transfer property, chiefly because it avoids the court probate process. Even if you have a will, there are advantages to making a living trust a part of your estate plan...

Different states have different rules about fault. Connecticut uses what is known as the modified comparative negligence system. This allows you to sue the other driver as long as you are not principally at fault for the accident. You cannot recover damages from the other driver if the jury finds you more than 50 percent responsible....

At GPS, our personal injury attorney has decades of experience representing people hurt in auto accidents, motorcycle accidents and all other types of crashes. To schedule a consultation, please call (203) 407-4200.

Residential real estate transactions are usually time-sensitive. Sellers are eager to get the proceeds of the sale, which may affect their purchase of another property. Buyers are anxious to move into their new home, perhaps faced with pressure to vacate their present rented or owned premises. Getting to the closing table on time takes effort and cooperation. But buyers often encounter obstacles, which must be surmounted efficiently.

Perils of Not Closing a Deal on Time and How Homebuyers Can Avoid Them Gesmonde, Pietrosimone & Sgrignari, L.L.C. in Hamden and East Haven represents buyers and sellers in real estate transactions throughout New Haven county.

These injuries are life-changing and impact the ability to work and to carry on normal activities and relationships. As a consequence, lawsuits seeking compensation must be handled with exceptional skill and thoroughness so that the victims can afford the lifetime assistance they deserve...

Connecticut is an at-will employment state. This means that generally, an employer can fire an employee for most any reason or for no reason at all. However, there are exceptions to this rule. One exception is the Sheets doctrine, which prohibits employers from firing an employee when the action would offend an important public policy. For example, a company cannot fire a bookkeeper or accountant who refuses to prepare a false income tax return. The public policy of honest business accounting warrants protecting those employees who might be pressured into acting dishonestly....

A head-on collision is one of the most harmful types of road accidents. It occurs when two vehicles traveling in opposite directions collide or when a single vehicle crashes directly into a stationary vehicle or roadway impediment. Such collisions produce impact forces much greater than those in other kinds of collisions. Therefore, vehicle occupants are more likely to suffer serious injuries....

With how today's real estate market is looking, this is an interesting blog from our website you should read:

"If you’re selling your home, you may find yourself fielding multiple offers from buyers. Some of them can include contingencies, such as that the contract is valid only if the buyer first sells their current home. Depending on how hot the market is at the time and how many offers you’re getting, agreeing to this contingency might make sense. But sometimes a seller doesn’t want to be locked into a contingent contract. This is where a kick-out clause becomes a useful remedy."

In Connecticut, as in other states with crowded roads, aggressive driving is commonplace. Horns honking, cars making sudden lane changes and tailgating are everyday occurrences. Usually, this behavior occurs because people just don’t have patience. Road rage, by contrast, is more extreme, often deliberate and possibly intentionally violent. If you or a relative were injured in a car crash that you believe was caused by road rage, you have a legal recourse...

Your Rights if Another Driver’s Road Rage Caused Your Car Accident At Gesmonde, Pietrosimone & Sgrignari, L.L.C. in Hamden and East Haven, our attorneys have experience representing injured road rage victims and we are here to analyze your situation and assess the potential for filing a personal injury suit.

The GPS ladies are finally enjoying Administrative Professionals Day together by getting pedicures!

Thank you to this group for all they do to keep this office running smoothly.

In a blended family —a marriage with children from the spouses’ prior relationships— estate planning can be quite complicated. Bonds among members of these families do not forge traditional inheritance rights, so specific measures must be taken to convey property to them. Children from prior relationships may be in danger of losing part of their inheritances. There can also be uncertainties about who will provide long-term care in the event a family member becomes incapacitated...

Every blended family is different and requires tailored estate planning measures. At GPS, LLC, we will analyze your situation to determine what options can best protect your assets and achieve your goals. Please call 203-407-4200 or contact us online to arrange a meeting with Attorney Louis Crisci.
