Armed Forces Fatality Case
In New York, an armed forces fatality case refers to the death of a service member during active duty under circumstances other than natural causes. When such a tragedy occurs, uncovering the cause and determining responsibility are essential steps toward ensuring accountability and securing the family’s right to benefits and compensation. The process involves both military and civilian legal frameworks, which often operate in parallel. Navigating these complex, overlapping systems is crucial for securing a comprehensive outcome and the necessary support for surviving family members.

What Your Business Formation Attorney Should Address for Succession Planning
Transfer restrictions have to exist at formation to bind later. A right of first refusal, a tag-along right, and a buy-sell mechanism are enforceable against a member or shareholder only if they are in the operating agreement or shareholders’ agreement when the interest is acquired, and adding them afterward generally requires unanimous consent. The valuation formula matters more than the trigger. A buy-sell clause providing that the interest is purchased at “fair value” leaves the number to an appraisal and often to litigation, while a stated multiple of earnings, a formula tied to the financial statements, or a periodically updated agreed value produces a figure the parties can plan around. Entity type decides the tax result on exit. A buyer of an LLC interest can obtain a basis step-up in the underlying assets through a § 754 election, which a buyer of corporate stock cannot, and an S corporation’s eligibility requirements limit who may become an owner at all. Those constraints are set when the entity is formed, and converting later is itself a taxable event in some directions.
