Legal Answers
132 Questions Answered
- Q. Help with filing a quitclaim deed for inherited property in PA.
- A: First, if the Will has been probated and the property is a specific bequest to you,it is the Executor's responsibility to prepare and record the new Deed for you. If you are the Executor as well as the heir, then you can prepare and file the Deed. Since your intent is to sell the property you will probably want to file an Executor's fee rather than a quit claim deed
- Q. How do I close a retired LLC in Pennsylvania without liabilities?
- A: Pennsylvania has a formal Dissolution process to terminate or dissolve an LLC. It is generally not a good idea for you to DIY in this area. You should consult with a Pennsylvania business attorney to assist you with this process.
- Q. Should we open an LLC or LLP for our trading card business?
- A: You should meet with an experienced business attorney and a CPA to discuss this before you just choose an entity type (LLC v LLP v S Corporation) and have a 50/50 partnership. I am generally not a fan of 50/50 ownership unless you have very clear documentation on how you terminate or get out of a 50/50 entity. And questions about how and when both of you (or one of you) get paid to conduct the business may impact LLC versus other entity choices. Take the time to address these issues before you choose an entity type and ownership shares to avoid potentially big issues down the road when you both may no longer be in agreement.
