It depends what your goals are. The franchise taxes in DE can be expensive. WY may be an option to consider as well. A business lawyer can advise based on your specific circumstances.

Adam Studnicki's answer
Sounds like a messy situation. A lawyer should review the organizational and board documents (bylaws and board resolutions in particular, as well as examine whether the special meeting was properly noticed). There are many questions here, and they can't be answered without reviewing those documents first. Talk to a local business lawyer.

Answered on Aug 19, 2015
Robert Jason De Groot's answer
Your question is confusing. What do you mean by Nolp? If the case was dropped, why was he sentenced to 12 years? You might think about either conferring with the attorney who represented him or going to a private attorney of your own choosing with all relevant documents including a transcript.

The owner's insurance may not cover it, and the driver is probably gone (and uninsured). May be easiest to turn it over to your insurance.

Q: If you're renting a home, who is responsible for paying the taxes on said property, the renter or the owner?

I don't practice in Delaware but, generally speaking, the owner is responsible for property taxes but potentially could shift that to the renter under the terms of the lease. A DE lawyer can verify.

Robert D. Kreisman's answer
I understand that your injury was exacerberated by what may amount to medical negligence. The problem in my opinion with your description is that from a lawyer's point of view, the damages that you may prove would not economically be a feasible and satisfactory result for you and your lawyers' efforts. The reason being that the damages you may be able to prove satisfactorily do not measure up to the enormous expense it would require just to prove that the doctor(s) were negligent and were a...
