How Do I Write Corporate Minutes?
Video Summary
How do I write corporate minutes? Well, corporate minutes usually consist of shareholder minutes and also director’s minutes. And so what you need to do is write down the date and time and place that the meeting took place and who was in attendance. The bylaws of a corporation will set forth the notices that need to be sent out, which can be waived. And so if you have all of the shareholders in attendance, then you can simply have them sign a waiver that they waive notice of the shareholders meeting, and or you can have a shareholder give a proxy as far as that’s concerned. And then the shareholders are the ones that elect the directors as far as that’s concerned. So that is what you do as far as the shareholder minutes are concerned, you do the same format as far as the director’s minutes are concerned, the date, time, and place, and who is in attendance as far as your director’s meeting. And have them waive notice of the meeting, which are set forth in the bylaws. And their primary function is to elect the officers. If there are any major purchases or decisions to be made, then they need to pass a resolution as far as that’s concerned. They may want to accept the salary for the officers, the corporation. So, all of these things that need to be taken in consideration with the director’s minutes. So that’s how you do directors and shareholders’ minutes. And if you have any questions or need for me to assist you, I have a form that I send out for you to fill out as far as that’s concerned, and I can do the minutes for you.

During My Divorce, Should I Buy Out My Ex-Spouses Share of the House?
Video Summary
During my divorce, should I buy out my ex-spouse’s share of the house? The answer to that is you should not even think about buying out your spouse’s interest unless you have a marital settlement agreement, which settles all your assets and so that everybody knows what everybody’s going to get as a result of the divorce. And hopefully that’s something that you can work out with your spouse as adults rather than anything else as far as your property division is concerned, and then as simply a business decision. But you don’t want to be in a position where you buy out your spouse’s interest in the property and then you pay her for that, and then she turns around and wants more and more money as a result of looking at your other assets or whatever money you have or resources. So, I would strongly recommend that before you enter into any agreement to buy out your spouse’s interest in any real property, that you have a marital settlement agreement and discuss it with your divorce attorney. I don’t do divorces, but my phone number is (727) 847-2288.

How Is a Home Calculated for a Divorce?
Video Summary
How is a home calculated in a divorce proceeding? Well, I don’t handle divorces and so it’s my understanding that whenever the parties have filed an action for divorce, the judge takes into consideration that each party’s circumstances how the home is titled whether or not there’s any children, and then they make a decision as to whether or not the mother or the father, whoever has custody of the children or the primary custody, can remain in the house until the children reach a particular age and then direct the property to be sold. They can also direct the property be sold if there’s no other consideration. They take in consideration the other assets and based upon all of that, the judge then makes the decision as to whom receives the marital home or whether or not they simply each own a half interest and they’re then in a position to sell the property or provide special equity or so much to one spouse once the house is sold. But that’s falls within the jurisdiction and the decisions of the divorce attorney. So you don’t need to call me, but I’ll give you my phone number. You need to talk to your divorce lawyer in order for them to explain how this is going to work in your individual circumstance. Give me a call at (727) 847-2288.

How Close Can a Neighbors Dock Be to Another Property?
Video Summary
How close can a neighbor’s dock be to another’s property? Well, this is something that is regulated or by the city or county, wherever the docks or waterway is situated. And they may have a code building code which extends the property lines and give setbacks as far as where you can construct these docks. If the docks, if there is no regulation as far as the particular city or county on setback requirements, then it’s controlled by the riparian rights, which is the rights of a property owner who is adjacent to navigable waters to be able to use their property. And you cannot put your docks so that it impairs or encroaches upon your neighbor’s riparian rights, which consists of the call warpage or their ability to construct a dock. Also, as far as adaptability, so that you can’t block their ability to go in and out of their property to get to their docks or the waterway. And one that’s probably not used is also bathing and swimming. So usually you don’t want to have a dock that would stop that, but most time that’s not a problem. As well as the view, you can’t block your neighbor’s view of their property rights. And so the riparian rights is a complicated area as far as that’s concerned, whereas the city ordinances or building codes, as far as setbacks are concerned, fairly straightforward. However, it only controls docks that are built after the passage of the particular ordinance. So if you have any questions, give me a call at (727) 847-2288.
