- A: I would recommend you have a waiver prepared and signed by the clients. The waiver should specifically waive all liability for you and the company for the specific issues that may arise. This will not give you 100% protection against a lawsuit, but will certainly put you in a better position to defend against a lawsuit if one is filed.
- Q. If the father of a child has his own small business (LLC), does his monthly business expenses count toward his income?
- A: This is a good question to also ask your accountant. The answer may depend also on whether the LLC is taxed as an S-corporation. Generally, if the LLC is an S-corporation (many are), the owners will be taxed according to the salary that is paid and any distributions. The expenses of the company may be used to offset personal gains subject to the tax code requirements.
- Q. We bought a home and were told we overpaid $1000. 12 weeks and no refund. Now, told our last month rent failed? LOL?
- A: Th explanation of the facts of the case is a bit confusing as I am unclear on whether you are an owner or tenant. Nevertheless, any overpayment on a purchase typically is reimbursed by the escrow agent. The terms of the contract should be reviewed to identify whether they address what needs to occur under such circumstances.
