Starting a LLC, Why Use This Kit?

Attorneys typically charge between $500 and $1,000 to form a Limited Liability Company. When a business is new, money is tight; couldn’t you find a better way to invest that money? LLCs hybrid a corporation and partnership; the owners of an LLC receive the limited liability of incorporating without all the paperwork and government regulations.

When starting a LLC, the LLC must have two or more owners. This Kit includes all the documents you need to form an LLC in your state, along with full instructions. It discusses what an LLC is and the advantages of forming an LLC in your state. (You will need to pay state fees when you submit the documents; fees vary from state to state, averaging $100 to $150.)

So What Are The Advantages Of An LLC?

• Limited Liability - The liability of the owners is limited to the extent of their investment in the LLC (with the exception of unpaid taxes.) Creditors cannot attach property of the owners. The LLC can enter into contracts, sue and be sued without involvement of the owners.
• Member Contributions - Capital can vary but it can consist of cash, property, services, or the obligation to contribute additional cash.
• Tax Options - Properly structured, an LLC is taxed as a partnership rather than a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Since LLC’s can be taxed as partnerships it can avoid double taxation.
• Governmental Regulation - An LLC is subject to fewer governmental regulations and a lot less paperwork and filing fees than the typical corporations.

Without a living will, it’s quite possible the state, and not the dying person’s family, will decide whether life support systems will be used or not. In many cases, the state decides against the family wishes because of the fear of a possible lawsuit.

What Is A Living Will And Durable Power Of Attorney

A living will is a legal document which is prepared when a person is mentally competent which will dictate a person’s wish not to be kept alive on life support machines after they may become brain dead in a serious accident or from an illness.

A durable power of attorney is a legal document which authorizes one person to act on behalf of the individual granting the durable power of attorney to make financial and/or medical decisions on the individual’s behalf should the individual become incapacitated. “Durable” means the power of attorney survives if the individual preparing it becomes incapacitated. If no durable power of attorney is prepared and the individual becomes incapacitated, the court will appoint a guardian or conservator to make the decisions.

Couples who are having marital problems but do not yet wish to divorce should still protect themselves through a legal separation.

It can be a very troubling time for most married couples that wish to separate no matter what the reason. But if you have decided that this is to be, it is wise to put in writing a Separation Agreement. This document states all of the financial arrangements, such as alimony, child support, real estate, debts, personal property and more, to which the couple has agreed to. It also addresses the custody and visitation of minor children and other matters.

The Separation Agreement document covers the following topics:

• Division of debts, bank accounts, investments, life insurance and income taxes
• Real estate, vehicles, household goods and personal property
• Child support, custody, visitation, medical insurance and tax exemptions
• Spousal support (alimony)

As long as the two of you can agree to all these things, it is possible for you to create your Separation Agreement without an attorney. If you cannot agree on all matters, it is advised you seek legal advice.

After the separation agreement forms are filled out, the two of you will sign it in front of witnesses and a notary. The easiest way to accomplish this is to simply take the finished document to a bank that you do business with. They can supply the witnesses and the notary. You do not need to know the witnesses. Also, since you have an account there, they will probably do it for no cost, or a very modest cost, anyway.

After you have signed it, it is wise to file it with the county court so it is on record.

Partnership Agreement Forms - What Is A Partnership Agreement

A partnership is an association of two or more persons for the purpose of conducting business. Although the partnership can declare bankruptcy and limit some liability, it is not normally regarded as a legal entity like a corporation.

There are two types of partnerships – the general partnership and the limited partnership.

In a general partnership, all partners share in both the profits and responsibilities of the business. Unless otherwise spelled out in the partnership agreement, each partner has one vote, no matter how much he has contributed to the business. A general partnershipis the most popular partnership.

A limited partnership is an arrangement where a person or company invests in an unincorporated business and still gains limited liability protection. However, they do not possess any management powers. (The legal documents in this kit havebeen designed for a general partnership only.)

A partnership begins with an agreement, which can be spoken, written or simply a matter of understanding. Good friends who decide to form a partnership may not feel it necessary to reduce their arrangements to writing. However, experience proves that it makes sense to draw up an agreement. Any point that is covered in the partnership agreement is subject to state law.

If you decide that a Partnership Agreement is what your business requires, this partnership agreement forms kit will make the process simple, quick and easy.

Power of Attorney Legal Forms - What is a General Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a document which authorizes another person to act on behalf of the individual granting the power of attorney. The person giving the power is called the Grantor and the person granted the power is called the Attorney-in-Fact. Anyone may be the attorney-in-fact. There are two different types of power of attorney forms this kit will cover:

1. A General Power of Attorney authorizes the attorney-in-fact to act in behalf of the grantor, in all transactions and affairs.
2. A Special Power of Attorney only authorizes him or her to act on specific matters. For example, the selling of real estate.

Why Use A Power Of Attorney

A mother may wish to give her adult son a GENERAL power of attorney, granting him the authority to handle all of her financial affairs. A businessman who is going to be absent from his place of business for an extended period may wish to leave a SPECIAL power of attorney with a trusted employee, to handle his business affairs while he is away.

The key element in granting a power of attorney is trust. The grantor should have complete faith in the person granted power of attorney, as he or she will have unbridled use of the grantor’s assets while in force. Any misuse or embezzlement by the person can be a crime and subject to a civil action for return of assets.

With the use of this power of attorney legal forms kit, you can set up your power of attorney to include (but are not limited to) the following powers:

• Real estate transactions
• Chattel and goods transactions
• Bond, share and commodity transactions
• Banking transactions
• Business operating transactions
• Insurance transactions
• Claims and litigation
• and virtually any other matter for which you require the assistance of your attorney-in-fact

Power of attorney legal forms are simple to prepare. Just fill in the blanks, sign in front of witnesses and a notary, and the document is immediately legal. Once the completed forms are given to the attorney-in-fact, he or she may make copies to use in the transaction of the grantor’s business. Once granted, the power of attorney remains in effect until revoked by the grantor; that is the reason that we have also included in this kit a Revocation of Power of Attorney form. This form is to terminate such power. The grantor simply signs the Revocation of Power of Attorney form in front of witnesses and a notary and delivers it to the attorney-in-fact.

Preparing a power of attorney has never been easier or less expensive. This kit includes all the legal “fill-in-the-blank” documents you will need to prepare (and eventually revoke) your own Power of Attorney Agreement. With the help of this kit, you can prepare all of the necessary forms in less than 30 minutes, and they will be legal and valid in all 50 states.
