All corporations, LLCs (limited liability companies) and similar entities are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information form with the United States Treasury Department by the end of 2024. This is a new requirement under a law called the Corporate Transparency Act. The law is intended to fight money laundering by making all companies identify who the real owners of the company are. If this information is not provided by the end of the year, then the government may impose a fee of $500 or more on the company.

Most company owners don't know about this requirement. While it's free to file the information, our firm would be happy to assist any business owner who would like some assistance. We're charging a flat fee of $69, and this also includes a ten minute free consultation on any other legal matter that you'd like to discuss.

Please give us a call at (407) 289-0803 if you'd like to discuss it.

Recently, a Judge ordered the Villages of Palm Beach Lakes Property Owners' Association in West Palm Beach to pay the attorney's fees incurred by sixteen owners at The Sterling Villages in defending lawsuits the Villages filed in court. The Villages filed lawsuits against all 16 owners claiming they owed assessments that hadn't been paid in the years 2010 through 2014. The Villages later decided that did not have a valid legal claim against these people, and voluntarily withdrew the cases from court. This meant that the owners are the "prevailing parties" in the lawsuits, and the Villages of Palm Beach Lakes must reimburse the owners they sued for all of their attorney's fees and costs incurred in defending those cases.

Unfortunately, all of the owners in the Villages, in communities such as Bear Island, Bear Lakes Estates, Bear Lake Country Club, Stamford, Avondale, Milano, Paradise Cove, Whitehall, Sandalwood Lakes, Normandy Village, Saratoga Bay, Saratoga Pointe, Brittany Village, Paradise Cove, the Cascades, Heritage Village, Regents Place and Waterside, will be paying the tab through their assessments.
