Top 5 - Ask The Expert
What happens if I become sick? Charlotte says to plan for any potential illness or incapacity, make sure your Estate Planning Documents, Power of Attorney, and Living Will are updated and reviewed.
What do I need to do to start a business? First, talk to an accountant to understand the tax implications and create a business plan. Second, an attorney can then help you understand the liability implications and whether you need to create an entity to make sure you’re protected.
Are there new Real Estate requirements to deal with COVID-19? Whether you are a buyer or seller, Charlotte wants you to be aware of the new Disclosures that have been put in place.
