Any legal minds available?

I have a single paragraph on a one-page legal document decoded and translated to layman's terms.

Here it is:
I, the above named Resident do consent to waive resigning of the complete admission agreement and all applicable consents, policies, and acknowledgemeets. I further acknowledge that there are no amendment's to the original admission agreement and consent forms and that the original agreement and all consent forms are still valid.

This is for a family member that is a permanent resident of a nursing home/rehabilitation facility. It is UNSIGNED, sent to us because we are his Healthcare surrogate. Thanks for any and all help.
And as much as I like to kid, please take this seriously.

Not a legal mind, but it sounds like they are cancelling the “complete admission agreement”. Possibly for a revision of sorts, since it states that the other documents/consent forms are still valid.

I could be wrong. “Consent to waive resigning” sounds weird. Waive means to remove, and resign means to revoke- do they cancel each other out? Seems like a double negative.

Before you sign, you need to see the docs that it is referencing.....
Admission Agreement
Any Consents that your family member might have signed
A copy of the place's policy
And you need to make sure that there are indeed, no amendments....

Sounds to me like someone's trying to hide something

We do have a copy of the original admission agreement, but there have been some revisions to it since. Before I sign it, I'm crossing out that last line.

Cross it out, sign it, date it. And keep a copy of it

Better yet, tell them you aren't comfortable signing as is and see if they will revise for you. Whether they will or not will tell you a lot too

Invest into a Black's Law Dictionary. Terms and definitions are quite shocking. Language structure and semantics is everything.

Probably. We actually have Blacks Law Dictionary on our bookshelf and has come in sooo handy over the years.

But you are so good with tech stuff, I'm sure you could find it online, too

Also...maybe a free consult with an attorney?

LOL...soooo funny. You're so right. Books are going to be obsolete. But there are still a few of us out there ;)

One room in my basement is nothing but bookshelves.....
