Boise Probate Attorneys - Idaho Estate Planning Lawyers

To speak with a Boise Probate Attorney or an Idaho Estate Planning Lawyer, please call (208) 472-2383, for probate and estate planning in Idaho.

As a Boise Probate Attorney one of the most frequent questions I get is how long does it take to complete probate.

Once you have filed a probate action, you must file a notice in your local paper and in the paper where any real property is located or business has been conducted, regardless of whether it was a large business or a small business which belonged to the deceased. The notice informs creditors that any debts owing by the individual will be paid out of the estate. This is important for a small business, in particular, because if the small business has not been incorporated, then the debts are the debts of the individual as well as of the small business. It is important for a large business as well, particularly if the deceased business owner signed personally for any of the debt for the business.

In addition to filing notice, the appropriate paperwork must be completed so that the personal representative can pay the debts of the estate, transfer property and distribute property. The personal representative must do an inventory of the estate to establish what property exists and is available to pay debts and ultimately to be distributed. The personal representative must also keep an account of their activity to provide an accounting if one is requested by the heirs.

Once the debts are paid and the property is distributed the estate can be closed. However, the estate cannot be closed for at least ninety days to give the creditors a chance to file a claim for payment against the estate. After ninety days, if a creditor does not come forward, they will be barred from collecting against the estate.

Once probate is filed, notice has been given, the debts have been paid and the property has been distributed the estate can be closed.

Boise Small Business Attorney

Today's business section of the newspaper featured a small business start up that went from a small business to a huge business in a little over two years. Last year Groupon, went from offering group coupon discounts in 35 states to running a business that has 50 million subscribers in 41 countries around the world.

The basic idea behind Groupon is that small business and large business in local areas can subscribe to Groupon. The company features a special each day based, most often, on local business. Groupon promotes it and takes a cut, but it drives business to local small business as well as bigger business. Recently, they offered a $20 Barnes and Noble gift card for $10. In a few days Groupon sold 700,000 vouchers driving $350,000 to Barnes and Noble.

Groupon may be facing challenges depending upon what type of business formation plan they started with. When you go from running a small business to a large one so quickly you need to make certain you have a business plan in place. A plan that will cover employees, employee relations, not to mention employee retirement plans, the best possible health insurance plans, as well as a whole host of other of operations strategies.

What Groupon's success points out is that small business is still the backbone of the American economy and perhaps small business, including small business in Idaho, will be what brings us out of the recession and back to work.

If you are interested in starting a small business in Boise or in Idaho and you need to speak to a small business attorney, please call (208) 472-2383

Boise Attorney Discusses Filing a DBA and Registering a Small Business in Idaho

As a Small Business Attorney in Boise I often get questions about DBAs in Idaho. If you have a small business or a large business for that matter and you operate your business with an assumed name you are required to file a DBA with the Secretary of State's office. You must do this before you start operating your small business.

You must also decide what legal status your business will be. Many small business owners choose to run their businesses as an LLC (limited liability company). You can also choose to operate your small business as a sole proprietorship, partnership, a LLP (limited liability partnership), limited partnership, a corporation, an S corporation, a C corporation, a non-profit corporation, a professional services corporation, or a PLLC (professional limited liability company.)

How you choose to register your small business will affect your liability as a small business and your tax consequences.

If you open a small business with employees or your small business has retail sales, you must also register with the Idaho Tax Commission, the Idaho Department of Labor and the Idaho Industrial Commission.
