What Should a Project Management Agreement Include for Landlords?
A project management agreement is a binding contract that allocates responsibility, timeline, cost, and dispute resolution between a property owner (or their representative) and a project manager overseeing construction, renovation, or facility work on the landlord's real property.

How Does a Petition for Guardianship Work in Bronx Family Court?
A guardianship petition establishes legal authority over a child when parents are unable to provide care, and New York family courts evaluate these petitions under a best-interests standard that prioritizes the child's safety, stability, and connection to family.
