As of this morning, reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act are again on hold. I would recommend being prepared to file quickly in the event the Federal Court reinstates the requirement.

The Fifth Circuit has vacated their own order staying the preliminary injunction in the Texas Top Cop Shop v Garland case on the Corporate Transparency Act.

In my professional experience as a financial advisor and now attorney, I’ve unfortunately witnessed countless times where, when someone dies, money and other assets tear families apart because of poor estate planning, or no estate planning at all. Siblings fighting, taking family members to court, you name it, it happens.

Be sure you have a customized estate plan in place so this doesn’t happen to your loved ones.

If you have no estate plan or your current plan needs to be updated, schedule an appointment with our firm. We’d love to help you.

As an update, our office is now fully functional. We plan to hit the ground running and resume business as normal starting Monday, October 7th.

An unfortunate truth from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene is that people have been injured and lives lost. Businesses have also been affected greatly, which may lead to contract disputes.

If you have been injured or your business has suffered in any way, please feel free to reach out to our office at (706) 364-0070 or visit our website at www.garrettmurphylaw.com.

Most importantly, we will pray that God comforts you all in your times of need.
