IMPORTANT LEGAL UPDATE

 FinCEN has posted the following statement related to the Corporate Transparency Act as of January 24, 2025: 

In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.

On January 23, 2025, the Supreme Court granted the government’s motion to stay a nationwide injunction issued by a federal judge in Texas (Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. McHenry—formerly, Texas Top Cop Shop v. Garland). As a separate nationwide order issued by a different federal judge in Texas (Smith v. U.S. Department of the Treasury) still remains in place, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN despite the Supreme Court’s action in Texas Top Cop Shop. Reporting companies also are not subject to liability if they fail to file this information while the Smith order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.

As we navigate these changes, Wood + Lamping is here to assist you with any questions or compliance needs. If there are further updates to this ruling, we will also share them with you. Feel free to reach out to your Wood + Lamping attorney for guidance.

The probate administration process in Ohio is an important and necessary legal procedure that ensures the proper distribution of a deceased person’s assets and the settlement of their final affairs. While probate can seem complex, especially during a time of great emotional difficulty, it serves an important role in providing structure and clarity to the disposition of the decedent’s estate. For Ohio residents and those inheriting assets from a deceased person who resided in Ohio, understanding how probate works here can make the process less daunting. In this article, I outline the key steps of the Ohio probate administration process, the role of the probate court and the executor or administrator, and ways to streamline the whole process.

On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced an administrative rule that would ban almost all non-competition agreements. The rule is scheduled to take effect in about four months (around August 2024). Within a couple days several businesses, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, filed lawsuits requesting that the rule be overturned. The courts may either reject the rule entirely, delay the effective date of the rule, or uphold the rule and permit it to take effect.
