If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is that life can change in an instant. As the country strives to re-open and create a new normal, there are many lessons to be taken away. One of these lessons is the importance of ensuring your estate planning documents are in place when you are young and healthy.
HIPPA Violation?
I sent out emails and postcards to my patients telling them I was at a new location. The former location is saying this is a HIPPA violation, patient harrassment, and I have their data base. They plan legal action. Do they have a case? thank you.
DCA Ruling
Does a opinion or ruling from the 2nd DCA automativally overturn a circut court judges rulings within the 3rd DCA, or does it have to be heard and ruled on in the 3rd DCA
To clarify my question:
I have just married in California and reside in California. My spouse would like me to sign a quit claim for the properties he owned previous to our marriage which is fine with me. I would like to purchase some investment rental properties with my own money (through an LLC I will form).
I understand that if I invest in properties with my own funds they are considered separate property (I need to be sure not to co-mingle or transmute funds), but the increase in value and rental income from those may not be protected and that is what I would be would like to also protect if divorce ever occurs.
I wanted to use a quit claim but the properties will be purchased in the future at varies times,so I assume this is not possible to draw up a quit claim for properties I have not yet purchased?
Would a post-nup be the only solution in this case or is there another way?
