- Limited Liability CompaniesThe Limited Liability Company (LLC) provides a relatively new way of doing business that combines the advantages of a partnership and a corporation. A business can be conducted in a number of forms, such as a partnership, a regular corporation, or an S corporation. Doing business as a partnership has many tax advantages. Income is taxed only once, and there is great flexibility in how income and deductions are passed through to the partners. But the partners' personal assets are put at risk, since each general partner is personally liable for the partnership debts and obligations. Corporations don't have the liability problem, since shareholders aren't responsible for debts of the corporation. However, a corporation's income may be taxed twice, once when the corporation earns it and once when it is distributed to the shareholders in the form of dividends. Electing to be an S corporation avoids double taxation, but S corporations have many restrictions as to the number and type of shareholders, classes of stock, ownership of subsidiaries, etc..

- Bankruptcy
- ForeclosureBetween Buyer and Lender: The buyer executes a promissory note in which he or she promises to repay the loan amount plus interest. The note also sets out how long the buyer has to pay. The second document, the mortgage or deed of trust, tells the lender that, if the buyer fails to make payments, the lender can take and sell the property through foreclosure. In essence, a mortgage is a formal record of the lenders legal interest in the property that puts the world on notice of that interest. In return for these documents, the buyer receives loan proceeds from the lender (usually the purchase price, minus the down payment).
- Tax LawBefore the meeting, make a preliminary list of the assets and their estimated values. You'll need exact values later, but this will help the attorney know if an estate tax return will need to be filed (due no later than nine months after the grantor's death). If there is a surviving spouse or if the trust has a tax planning provision, the attorney may need to do some tax planning right away. The trust may also need its own tax identification number.
