A retirement planner and an insurance broker are two very different occupations. A retirement planner usually provides financial advice to customers on an hourly fee basis. Retirement planners typically do not directly sell financial products, including insurance annuities. They may, however,... View More

This is like making voluntary statements during a traffic stop. Just don't do it. Name, address, and DL, and then STFU.
Remember, "Nobody ever got into trouble for what they do not say" and in this case do not voluntarily provide. I you do not supply how can you get into... View More
I'm an investor with 14 years experience. My friends and family all want my help because I've made excellent returns but it is my understanding that I can't help them, because I'm not a financial advisor, and they could sue me if they lost money (is that even true?). So I want... View More

Your divorce eliminated your name as beneficiary on investments. Investments like a mutual fund or stock are allowed to have a "pay on death" or a "transfer on death" designation. Sometimes the accounts will be in both names, with a "right of survivorship". The goal of... View More

While I agree that they sent more information than was probably necessary, you don't have any apparent damages as a result of this action, and no claim arises from the facts you describe.
SEC rule 506(c) mandates only accredited investors are eligible to contribute to the funds. So can non-accredited investor form an LLC to obtain accredited status? If yes, what are the terms and conditions that one should be aware off?
answered on Apr 18, 2021
Either you are accredited or not! The issuer is not going to risk losing a safe-harbor exemption for registration to take on an unaccredited investor. And they it tells you otherwise, watch out!!

Contrary to popular belief, Puerto Rico IS part of the US, even though it's not a state. It's a US territory, and you don't even need a passport to travel to and from there from any other part of the country.

You need to put them on Notice in writing of your objection to the freeze, remind them you have open positions and your intention to sue them for any and all damages unless they take your orders and unfreeze the account or hire an attorney to do that immediately.

Your question remains open for three weeks, and at this point, if you haven't already, consult with a Texas attorney. This sounds more like a real property matter than one about securities or civil rights. At any rate, the category is not really important at this point. It appears to be... View More

Even if he is, merely filing for a green card does not confer any legal status in the United States unless the applicant is in this country with some other... View More

I suggest you have an in-person consultation with an attorney. It's a time-consuming job to review all the appropriate facts and advise you accordingly; therefore, you will probably be charged for the consultation.

It is difficult to give an accurate answer to this question without knowing all the details of your case. Generally, for example, a person may argue that a contract is voidable because he did not have the capacity or legal ability to enter the contract due to being under the influence of drugs or...
