Now that October is here and pumpkin spice is in the air, the new US Corporate Transparency Act requirement that all non-exempt US corporations and LLCs that already existed before January 1, 2024 must file by year end to report beneficial interest owners, IS DUE BY THE END OF THIS QUARTER! If you are a business owner and haven't already heard of this or have been putting it off, see the following explanatory post from Meyer Capel, A Professional Corporation earlier this year. We are doing a lot of these for clients now and glad to help!

So in addition to the legal assistant opening, we’ve also just posted for two part time receptionist positions, one morning and one afternoon. This is perfect for someone looking to work in a law office but for reduced hours only. See https://www.meyercapel.com/morning-receptionist for the morning posting. The afternoon posting is on the same website and says the same thing, but for afternoons. Thanks to all who are sharing these and helping spread the word!

Hours: 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

My legal assistant is moving out of town (happy for her, though we will miss her here), so we are posting for the position. If you know anyone interested please pass this along, and let me know if any questions. Thanks!

I had the privilege to teach a class last night at Heartland Community College on probate and how to serve as an executor. A great group of folks with lots of great questions! Thanks so much for the opportunity and for coming!

I’m honored to have an article in this month’s Illinois State Bar Association journal. My co-author and I had the privilege to help with a committee to update the Transfer on Death Instrument Act. Before Jan 1, you could only name a beneficiary on residential real property. Thanks to the amendment, that “residential only” restriction is lifted. This is a powerful tool for transferring real estate at death outside of probate, for those who prefer not to have a trust. It’s not for everyone, but an additional tool to consider.

I’m obviously one of the newer folks at Meyer Capel, A Professional Corporation but I really appreciate the warm welcome I have received so far. And we are still growing and looking to add more people, potentially both attorneys and non-attorneys, and particularly in our Champaign office. I would particularly note that we are looking to add several in paralegal and legal assistant positions, and a bookkeeper. If you or someone you know is looking for work in these areas, and interested in working from the Champaign office, please let me know.
