QUESTIONNAIRE
Over the past year, I successfully structured a client’s estate plan, enabling her to qualify for a mortgage to buy a new home. I also assisted a business client in setting up his LLC, including an Operating Agreement, Private Placement Memorandum and Commercial Lease. The company is now up and running generating income.
