Other business activities

Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.
Attorney/Owner of NOVA Estate Planning, PLLC, an estate planning and administration law firm. I am also a notary to provide my legal clients with that service at no charge as part of my engagements. I am compensated on a mix of flat-fee and hourly engagements for services rendered. I have also filed the name RVA Estate Planning, PLLC with the state corporation commission to conduct the same business operations in the Richmond metro area in addition to the operations I already conduct in the northern parts of the state of Virginia. Compensation will be handled the same way it is done for my current law firm.
