It applies to you and your business. Especially if you’re married, going to get married, you are separated, getting a divorce, or your spouse or business partner dies.
That means it can apply to your customers, the businesses you buy from, sell to, or make contracts with. In your business it involves….credit, loans, assets, who has power to sign, write checks, etc.
Join us to learn the basics of “Community Property” and its partner “Separate Property” (in a way, they’re married)…. as they both impact your business and your personal life.
