Darrel W. Puckett The Real Estate Section of the Virginia State Bar Board of Governors and Area Representatives, under the initiative of former Chairperson Kay Creasman, have lovingly filtered through more than fifty years’ worth of Virginia Legal Ethics Opinions that pertain to topics of interest to the real estate practitioner. These folks were very eager to pass along some of the joy derived from reviewing the written product of old lawyers opining on riveting legal conundrums, culminating in these presentations on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. From LEO 183 to 1896, these are the ethics opinions that may matter the most, presented to you in two one-hour sessions from the perspective of your everyday average attorney. |

The CTA requires these organizations to report their “beneficial owners” and “applicants” to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in an attempt to prevent the use of shell companies to evade anti-money-laundering rules or to hide other illegal activities. Learn how this new law will impact your real estate practice. |
