Frequently Asked Questions?
1
Do I need a contract even for small business deals?
Yes. A written contract protects your rights and helps prevent disputes.
2
What’s the best legal structure for my business?
It depends. LLCs, corporations, and partnerships each have pros and cons. The right choice depends on liability, taxes, and goals.
3
Is a will enough for estate planning?
Not always. A will doesn’t avoid probate or cover incapacity. Trusts and other tools may be needed.
4
How long does it take to resolve a probate case?
Most probate cases in California take 9 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the estate, court schedules, and whether any disputes arise.
5
What should I do if I get an IRS or FTB audit letter?
Act quickly. Gather documents and contact a tax attorney to protect your rights and respond properly.
