Packages

Single Member Limited Liability Company (LLC)

$275 (plus filing fee of $125.00 to Ohio Secretary of State)

Do you own a car, a house, cash, bank accounts, or other personal or real property?

Do you earn wages, 1099 funds, or receive other income?

Do you have any personal net worth?

If you answered yes to any of the above, it is imperative that you form a legal entity for your business to protect those personal assets!  If you don't, you take the risk of losing all or some of your hard-earned personal assets in the event of business catastrophe.

Achieve peace of mind and have a trusted attorney from Worley Law form a legal entity to protect your personal assets while running your business.

This package includes completion of all the requirements necessary in the State of Ohio to form a valid LLC. Services included:

  • A one hour complimentary legal consultation/audit for your business
  • Business name Search
  • Drafting and filing articles of organization with the Ohio Secretary of State
  • Obtaining a tax identification number (EIN) from the IRS
  • Drafting an operating agreement that sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the business owner
  • A corporate book with all entity documentation inside, including LLC unit/share certificates, minutes of meetings, and any resolutions made by the LLC

Starting a legal entity for your business will ensure that your personal assets are separate from your business assets and thus, in most instances, will protect them from being taken if your business should fail or a judgment is obtained against the business. An ounce of advice can save a pound of legal headaches down the road. Establishing a relationship with a trusted legal advisor during the infancy of your business will assist your business in making a successful start and maintaining that relationship over time will provide a partnership, enabling your business to grow and thrive.

Comprehensive Will and Powers of Attorney

$500 per person

A will is a very important document which people of all ages should have. A will provides the directions for distributing of your property, your last wishes regarding your burial, and custodial arrangements for any minor children. If you die without a will (or even with a will which was poorly planned), the State of Ohio will be responsible for making any decisions regarding your estate after your death, regardless of what your wishes truly were.

Worley Law's Comprehensive Will and Powers of Attorney package includes preparation of:

  • Last Will and Testament
  • Springing Power of Attorney for Property
  • Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
  • Living Will
  • Appointment of Bodily Remains
  • HIPAA Authorization and Waiver

The package also includes a complimentary initial meeting, necessary revisions, and final meeting to execute the documents.

Power of Attorney (Financial or Healthcare) or Living Will

$85 for one, $225 for all three!

Do you have a trusted individual who legally can make decisions and pay your bills for you if get sick or otherwise incapacitated?

Are you invulnerable to sickness, bodily injury, or death?

Do your loved ones really know what you want if you are in a coma for ten years?

Do you have someone who can legally run your business for you?

If you answered no to any of the above, it is imperative that you have a Financial Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, and a Living Will to pay your bills, take care of your family, and ensure your medical wishes are carried out.

Planning for the unexpected major injury or illness can ensure that not only you are taken care of, but also your family. Establishing a relationship with a trusted legal advisor now can ensure that you and your family can grow and thrive in all circumstances as well as ensuring your wishes for yourself and your assets are followed.

These powers of attorney only activate upon your incapacity to make your own decisions. Failure to plan ahead of time with a power of attorney can result in risk and substantial cost of involving the State of Ohio to take care of you, placing your family in financial distress, and remaining on life support for the remainder of your years if involved in a major accident or surprise illness.

Preparation of Annual Meeting Minutes and Resolutions for Ohio LLCs and Corporations

$150

In order to properly document an Annual Meeting, business owners will complete an Annual Minutes informational checklist and questionnaire provided by Worley Law. Once the forms are completed and sent back, either Caroline Worley or Julie Phillips will prepare a customized Annual Meeting Minutes document for the business based on the answers/information provided. As part of this offer, Worley Law will also perform an examination of the current legal status of the Ohio LLC/Corporation to make sure all information with the Ohio Secretary of State is accurate, that the company is in good standing, and that the Statutory Agent and address for the Company are correct.

Annual Review of Your Will, Trust, and Estate Plan

Complimentary

The end of the year is the time to review your wills, trusts, and estates to see if any updates need to be made. Whether your estate plan needs to be adjusted based on new life circumstances, a business succession plans should be tweaked, or you need to determine whether any assets need to be moved into a trust, now is the perfect time to review!

This is a critical personal and business task that all individuals and businesses should complete. If you have recently gotten married, had a child, considering starting a business or selling a business, brought in a family member into the business, or have purchased a home or other major asset, then it is time to review your will, trust, business succession or estate plan.

Worley Law is offering a complimentary, one hour meeting with attorney Julie Phillips to review and discuss your wills, trusts, business succession plan and/or estate plan.
