Some of the more Frequently Asked Questions:

Can the Fiduciary Agreements include customized instructions?

The answer is whatever is agreed in writing by the parties to the agreement can and will be part of the Fiduciary Agreement.

Can we act or take further instructions from either party concerning the transaction once the Fiduciary agreement has been signed?

No, the Fiduciary agreement will be legally binding. The only way in which conditions may be changed will be by the written consent of both parties. If the conditions of the agreement need to be changed a new Fiduciaryagreement will need to be put in place.
