URGENT: CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT

In our October 2023 and March 2024 newsletter, we informed you about new regulations that arose from the Corporate Transparency Act. We want to make sure you have registered if the Act applies to you, because there are large penalties of $500 per day (adjusted annually for inflation) for failing to file.

Therefore, elder law has become increasingly important in dealing with the issues that affect our growing aging population.
