Corporations

My wife died on May 10,2009.Since I found her at home alone,according to authorities, a fullautopsy would have to be performed. Thus far, it has been 5 weeks and after calling the medical examiners office they stated that the investigation was still pending; waiting on the results from the toxicology lab. Does that mean they suspect she may have been poisioned?

I am buying in as full partner in an established business for the price of $50,000. The business is currently a corporation. In order to avoid double taxation do I need to reform the corporation as a sub-chapter S, LLP or LLC when we finalize the partnership agreement? Is there a form that is Tennessee specific or do I need multiple forms and is so which ones apply?

Is it illegal for a teacher to date a parent in the state of NJ? I dated a parent of a former student and broke up with him--he is not happy and is threatening me and my job --i need help--please help me i need the correct answer so I can pursue legal action if i have to.

I am a 25% shareholder of a small business (annual revenue of $1.3 million)and I have borrowed against the company in an amount of about $45 K (over a period of 4-5 years). I have now shared this info openly with my business partner (75% shareholder) and have begun repayment of $1000 per month. I originally did not have a lot of concern about my actions because the company owed me about $90 k in deferred wages, however I have come to learn from my business partner that we apparently wrote that off the books a few years ago. I was unaware of that. We have been in business (C-Corp) since 1998 and used to be in a personal relationship. During the last 4-5 years he betrayed my trust (engaged in a long term affair with an employee - even took her on personal trips under the guise of company business on company funds). I confronted him regarding the affair and the potential impact it has/had on our company several times over the years (the employee no longer is with the company however the impact of the relationship on the company while not quantifiable in dollars is/was huge - morale, PR - as they were not discreet). I am concerned as to what his rights are regarding my 'borrowing', how he may legally approach this if he decided to do something, what challenges I have created for myself and what my rights are in this situation. We are both instrumental to the on-going success of our business, the business is now on a much better track sales and revenue-wise since the employee that he had an affair with is gone, however I remain concerned. I look forward to your response. Thank you.

I run a small company and am thinking whether or not I should transfer my shares to my wife. If I transfer my shares to my wife, is my company required to hold a shareholder's meeting? or is my company needed to obtain the consent of the other shareholders? What happens in the case of a divorce?
