Steve's,
Fabio is giving the best advice here AND it's free, so i see no advance of using the "free" cousin which may finally come out not to be free, b/c delays and mistakes for leak of professionalismn can in some cases easily cost more than a 'expensive' lawyer would have cost.
last company constitution done for a friend costed 20.000.- pesos including the lawyers fee, that been a friendship rate, done by my steady lawyer. i guess it still costs no more than 30.000.- to do it the right way and be sure to have the real papaers in hand. to run a business i assume a lil $850.- invest is not the big deal running a business into the ground from the beginning.
we had such 2 years back when separating the titles of a 1500tareas family finca. several family members said it will be done by a lady which is a cousin and she is a lawyer, i did disagree with some papers my wife got presented to sign, so she refused to sign, family got mad at first, we met to talk and what came out?
the big family lawyer lady been a freshly finished law student with 0.00% experience on property transactions/landtitles aso.
heck, she could have set some many millions to hell.
si i told her to be off and not try again to present any kind of legal papers to my wife. some family members got really mad, but who cares? they see some money and would be ready to sign everything for the dream to get it.
those landtitles are still not finished/done.
i suspect more than before, that the "mad" part of the family which are parents aso from that lady lawyer, been up to some dirty game.
good luck with your business start
Mike
