🛠️ Business Formation

Build it right. Grow it strong.

At Wealth & Estate Law, we help small business owners lay the legal foundation for success. Whether you’re starting your own contracting business or growing a crew of electricians, plumbers, or landscapers, we make sure your setup works for you.

Wes Winsor, our attorney and founder, is a business owner and family man himself. He knows what it means to juggle payroll, projects, and planning. He also knows how critical it is to get the legal part right, from the very beginning.

🧱 Entity Types: What’s Right for You?

Choosing the right structure for your business can affect everything from taxes to liability to how you grow. Here’s a quick breakdown of your options:

➤ Sole Proprietorship

Perfect for one-person operations, but offers no liability protection. Easy to start, risky to grow.

➤ Partnership

Shared responsibility, shared liability. Formal agreements are critical—especially when things go sideways.

➤ Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Our most-recommended option for trades. Offers protection for your personal assets and tax flexibility without unnecessary complications.

➤ Corporation (S-Corp / C-Corp)

Ideal for growth-focused businesses with investors or employees. More paperwork, but more opportunity.

➤ DBA (Doing Business As)

Want to run your business under a different name? A DBA lets you do that legally—but it’s not a standalone structure.

💬 Not sure which fits you best?
Let’s talk it through. We’ll help you choose the best option for your business goals and take care of the filings from start to finish.

📝 Contracts That Work As Hard As You Do

Handshake deals are great—until they’re not. We help you draft and review service contracts that clearly lay out expectations, protect your time, and ensure you get paid.

Whether you’re managing subs, quoting jobs, or providing long-term services, we’ll make sure your agreements are legally sound and tailored to how you do business.

✔ Client & Contractor Agreements
✔ Payment & Scope Terms
✔ Dispute-Proof Language
✔ Contract Reviews & Updates

⭐ Registered Agent Services

Protect your business, privacy, and peace of mind.

Every LLC and Corporation is required by law to have a registered agent. That’s someone who can receive legal notices on your behalf—so nothing gets missed and you stay in good standing.

When you use us as your registered agent, you get:

✅ A real business address—no more using your home
✅ Timely delivery of important documents
✅ Legal privacy and compliance—without the stress

This isn’t just a checkbox. It’s one of the most valuable services we offer—and we make sure it’s done right.

🧾 Licensing & Legal Checkups

Annual Business Legal Review

You change. The law changes. Your business grows. It’s easy for licenses to slip through the cracks or paperwork to get outdated. That’s why we recommend an annual legal checkup for every business.

What we review:

🔎 Business Entity Status
🔎 Local & State Licensing
🔎 Compliance & Tax Status
🔎 Service Contracts & Liability Gaps

We’ll flag what needs fixing before it becomes a problem.

🤝 A Legal Partner Who Gets It

We don’t see our work as a one-time service. Our goal is to be your long-term legal partner—someone you can call when questions come up, contracts need updating, or you’re ready to take that next step.

Because when your business succeeds, so does your family. So does your legacy, and that’s something worth protecting.
