I am trying to start a business but the name is taken on instagram and facebook, but the accounts have not posted in years, and has under 100 followers on instagram and just 2 on facebook, can that lead to trouble?

It's possible that you may have an issue with the name. I'd probably look at the US Trademark database (uspto.gov) to see if anyone has filed a trademark for the name. If not, I'd check the database for your state's secretary of state and any fictitious business name (i.e.,... View More

The answer is probably no. Usually, a lease requires the tenant to return the property to the landlord at the end of the term in the same condition in which the tenant received it, reasonable wear and tear excluded. Most leases also do not allow any material alteration of the premises without the... View More
How can there be any compliance with the terms of a mother's will, if the son refuses to sign the Shareholder Agreement, thus (officially) becoming a shareholder?
answered on Apr 10, 2018
I'm not a Michigan lawyer, and so cannot advise on Michigan law in this regard. I assume your corporation is a Michigan corporation. Normally, however, if there was no requirement in the will that the son agree to a shareholders agreement as a condition for getting his shares, then he is... View More

I would recommend talking to an attorney about whether it makes more sense for you to incorporate or form an LLC from a tax and liability standpoint. Based on those answers, you can then decide whether to incorporate in Illinois or some other jurisdiction.

Sounds like you've got a wage and hour claim. You should either contact an attorney who works in this area in your state or you may be able to call your state department of labor and see what they can do for you.
We are preparing the trust agreement needed to apply for the 5013c tax exemption status.
answered on Aug 21, 2017
You do not need a trust agreement to form a 501(c)(3) organization. You need to file as a non profit corporation and follow the instructions on the IRS paperwork for applying for non-exempt status.

I am not admitted as an attorney in Minnesota, and so cannot give you legal advice on Minnesota law. However, I have never heard of a restriction on LLC's obtaining building permits in the states where I practice, California and Colorado. The bigger issue may be whether the LLC is licensed...

But then I sell my furniture to another friend 2 at Rs 21, 000. Can friend 1 sue me for damages?
answered on May 23, 2017
Normally, your friend would be considered to have made you a counteroffer at 19K Rs to your offer to sell at 20K Rs. If you did not accept the counteroffer, then no contract has occurred, because there has not been a "meeting of the minds" on the price of the goods. If that is the case,... View More
Interspousal grant deed filed as husband and wife no vesting, and now the husband has passed away does the wife have to go through probate in order to remove his name from the deed? His will states that everything goes to wife but was damaged and will no longer be accepted top file for probate.
answered on May 22, 2017
If she is the only beneficiary of the husband's estate, then she might be able to file the death certificate with the county recorder claiming to be the sole beneficiary of the estate. An estate planning lawyer should be able to assist with that documentation.

This month I was given my 30 day notice to leave the building, which I also gave to my sublessees. My problem is that the sublessees do not want to leave... View More
answered on May 22, 2017
I don't know what your subleases say, but in normal circumstances, you have a right, in most states, to sue them for unlawful detainer in the same manner that your landlord could sue you to evict you from the premises. This type of proceeding requires strict compliance with the applicable... View More
