Community Debt Hold Harmless
My sister’s husband is a deadbeat. She kicked him out 4 months ago for two basic reasons: dishonesty and financial irresponsiblity. She is not prepared for a legal separation or divorce at this time. He has accumulated debts of approx 20,000 (back taxes, loans, etc). Is their some legal form that we could get him to sign where he holds my sister harmless/relieves her of any liability relating to these debts? All debts were incurred while married to my sister, some debt in his name only, some in both their names.

Medical Indemnity Agreements
I am looking for information on the enforcibility of medical indemnity agreements. I have been asked to review a release of liability form for a youth program, but I am disturbed by much of the language. Are agreements that do
not except sole negligence enforcable in California? I know that they aren’t in relationship to contracts (i.e. construction contracts and Type 1 agreements) but I can’t find any information in regards to these types of agreements and medical treatment. The form I am reviewing is called a “Waiver of Liability and Authorization for Third pary Consent to Treatment”. Much of the language refers to holding an organization and its’ employees harmless from all liability regardless of how caused. My education in construction waivers says this in uninforcable language in California. Can someone give me some resources to check and sample forms that have held up in California courts?

self storage lease agreements
Is it lawful for a self storage lessor to add a ”’Release” paragraph in the lease agreement releasing itself of all liabilities for personal injury or damages from any cause whatsoever, including the lessor’s own active acts or omissions and /or active negligence, then also include a paragraph demanding indemnification for any claim brought arising from all liabilities released in the ”Release” paragraph?
These provisions do not seem lawful or enforceable. How can a lessor throw in boilerplate language releasing itself of all liabilities from any cause whatsoever, and expect to enforce that provision against a lessee/consumer who is just trying to rent space to store some personal belongings?
What laws, cases, codes, do such unconscionable provisions violate in CA, and what should a lessee do if a lessor is trying to use those provisions to protect itself from liability for damages caused by dangerous conditons on the storage facility property? Thank you.
