Legal Answers
- Q. I need to know if a LLC or S-Corp is better for my espresso bar business
- A: We would need a little more information. You will most likely need to speak to an attorney to review your current personal tax and company situation, more in-depth. Are you a sole proprietor or are there partners? You mentioned "again". Have you opened and operated this business before?
- Q. how can I transfer the title of the car to my name?
- A: You may need to file for voluntary administration or petition for probate so that you may be appointed administrator or personal representative, depending on the value of the assets he left behind. Once appointed, you can then transfer title.
- Q. My late father has unclaimed money being held by the Commomwealth of Mass. I understand he may have died in debt
- A: I agree with my colleague, Attorney Jackson. This would be the responsibility of a Personal Representative, who would have the Estate pay any liabilities prior to distributing any remaining assets to it's beneficiaries.
