Business and Corporate Law

Business law deals with legal matters which arise from any action taken by or against a business. Examples include the contractual relationships that arise between a business, employees, suppliers, manufacturers and customers.

It may also include commercial transactions, such as promises or obligations to pay money among individuals, businesses, or lenders, which may be a secured transaction. Secured transactions are those in which a debtor gives a creditor an interest in their property as security for the obligation.

Corporate law not only deals with actions taken by or against separate legal entities called corporations, but also may include limited liability companies, partnerships, limited liability partnerships and other legal entities.

This broad area of the law also includes the formation of such entities, corporate governance, mergers, acquisitions, dissolutions, purchase or sale of corporate assets or stock, shareholder agreements and shareholder disputes. Examples of services offered in this area include:

  • Negotiating and drafting contracts, including commercial leases
  • Counseling small businesses and startups
  • Incorporation or formation of legal entities such as limited liability companies, corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships or non-profit organizations
  • Corporate and business dissolution

Wills, Probate and Real Estate Matters

A will is a legal document that states your intentions regarding your home, money and other assets (your estate) when you die. It also identifies who you want to handle your estate, how you want your assets divided and who you want to be the guardian of your minor children. Should you die without a will, state laws will control how your assets are disposed of and who will receive them.
 
Other legal documents including a durable power of attorney or advanced health care directive-living will are also recommended.
 
A durable power of attorney gives a person or persons of your choice the legal authority to act in your place in the event that you are unable. Should you become incapacitated and not have a durable power of attorney, your financial affairs cannot be taken care of by another unless your assets are jointly held with that person or the court appoints a guardian to act on your behalf.
 
A living will allows you to retain control over whether your life should be prolonged by the use of artificial means in the event you become incompetent and have a terminal condition or are in a permanent vegetative state. Otherwise, your spouse, next of kin, medical provider or in some extreme cases the court will make such decisions.
 
Estate planning is the process of considering the way assets are titled, taxes that will be due upon death and the manner in which beneficiaries will receive your assets.
 
To get the legal help you need with wills and estate planning, call the Law Offices of John D. Lychak, P.C. at (610) 865-1195 to schedule an appointment.

 

Probate and Estate Administration

Probate is the procedure used by the courts to prove that a Will is valid and genuine before authorizing the distribution of assets provided for under the Will. Probate also covers the ongoing jurisdiction of a person’s estate including the collection of assets, payment of debts and the distribution of the remainder to the deceased person’s heirs.
 
Estate administration of a deceased person’s estate. It is the procedure following the probate of a person’s estate whether they die with or without a Will. The procedure is carried out by the executor/executrix under a will or by an administrator if no executor/executrix is named. However, most executors or administrators hire a lawyer to handle the actual process of administration.
 
To get the legal help you need with probate and estate administration, call the Law Offices of John D. Lychak, P.C. at (610) 865-1195 to schedule an appointment.
 
Fees: For Estate Administration fees are based on a percentage of the gross estate (Lehigh and Northampton Counties), otherwise on an hourly basis. For all estates valued at $150,000 or less, fees are based on the hourly rate. Estate planning documents our fees are based on a flat fee. More complex estate planning may involve an hourly rate as well.
