This is a serious enough question that I think it would be worth your while to pay an attorney in your area for a consultation. The only way you can get reliable advice about whether or not to sign the release in this form is from someone who has had a chance to actually read through it, and who has all the facts of your situation.

The "boiler plate" language can sometimes be very important. You're wise, to have read through the entire document, and want to understand all of it before signing. There's untold heartache, and millions of dollars in attorneys' fees, penalties and whatnot that could be avoided if everyone followed your example.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
