Description

Again and again intentional communities disintegrate because their legal agreements did not reflect their values. Trying to create a different world while operating within the current one is daunting. The good news is you don’t need to wade into the legalese alone.

Clifford Paulin Esq, your instructor, has been advising groups on legal aspects of community for 15 years. More than just learning about the dry and confusing legal jargon, he will advise you on how to take your community vision and be empowered to manifest it.

In this class you’ll learn about:

• different types of legal entities, including tenancy in common, LLC, non-profits, co-ops and more
• the pros and cons for different structures
• how financing impacts your legal structure influences
• the basics of security and tax implications

This class is suitable for people new to the world of intentional communities, people looking to visit or join a community, and people looking to start/build a community.
