Hold harmless agreement in Florida
We are getting ready to do volunteer work for the needy here in Florida as part of a church miniistry. Do we need to have a ‘hold harmless agreement’ between us and everyone we do volunteer work for? We are planning on doing lawn work, minor painting, minor electrical like replacing a light switch or light bulb and minor plumbing issues such as repairing a faucet.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney’s individualized advice for you. By reading the “Response” to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
You can certainly ask for one but it would be quite unusual. Hopefully, there are no issues that would ever develop that might create a need to have a hold harmless agreement be signed. If you are uncomfortable, then by all means get one.
