ESTATE PLANNING

Estate planning is needed to ensure one's needs are met in the case of illness or incapacity.  It provides for management of assets, preservation of the estate for heirs, minimization of taxes and other administrative costs, and the distribution of assets upon death. 

Bayview Legal is dedicated to providing clients with quality estate planning services, such as drafting living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, pet trusts, charitable planning documents, and more.

BUSINESS FORMATION

One of the biggest business decisions you will make when starting a business is the choice of entity. The structure or form of a business is very important in that it can have a significant impact on income tax, business continuity, and the legal liability the business may be exposed to.  Bayview Legal works closely with business owners and entrepreneurs and assists them in forming commercial and residential businesses.

We can assist with your business planning, advise you on your entity selection, and help you form your choice of entity, including the following:

• Sole proprietorship

• C-corporation
• Partnership
• Limited liability company (LLC)
• Limited liability partnership (LLP)

We can also assist you with all the derivative legal issues and documentation, including documents establishing the rights between parties, such as the following:

• Operating agreements for an LLC
• Shareholder agreements for a corporation
