I've been turned down like this before, BUT...
There's a old farm that's been torn down so I stopped today and seeked out the property owner. Like a few other times from other places he said "No, I can't have the liability". I completely understand where he's coming from. BUT... he added a quick suggestion.... he said "if you can get your attorney to sign something clearing me of any liability so that you won't sue me", then he has no problem with it.
What an awsome idea! I'm thinking most people won't bother with it, but I am. I left a voice mail (being it's a Saturday) with my local attorney (friend of the family too) explaining my wishes. So he'll call me back in a few days I'm sure, of course if I don't hear by Monday evening, I'll call him to push it along!
While driving back home from there I thought: "Can't I have something notarized where I can make a copy, fill in the property's name/address to the said property of interest to offer the land owner even if they don't say no?" Always covering myself and them at the same time?
My thought would be to have the original available at all times to show the property owner so they know that I'm legitimate and I can offer them a signed by me copy.
I could use some input, could this work?
I (the undersigned) will hold no liability to (property owner & address) if by any means I should hurt myself while on the said premises, etc...
