Unincorporated business organization (UBO)

Read a random definition: USAF

A quick definition of Unincorporated business organization (UBO):

An unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a type of business arrangement where an investor creates a trust and gives management rights to a trustee. The trustee holds the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries, who are the investors. The investor has limited liability for their investment, which means they are only responsible for the property they put into the trust. This is similar to a limited partnership. UBOs are also known as Massachusetts trusts, common law trusts, or business trusts.

A more thorough explanation:

An unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a type of business arrangement that is used instead of a company or partnership. In this arrangement, the investor (also known as the settlor) creates a trust and gives the management rights to a trustee. The trustee holds the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries, who are the investors. The purpose of the trust is for investment purposes, and the investor has limited liability for their investment only.

For example, let's say that John wants to invest in a real estate property. Instead of forming a company or partnership, he creates a trust and appoints a trustee to manage the property. John is the settlor and the beneficiary of the trust, and he has limited liability for his investment in the property.

Another example is a group of investors who want to invest in a startup company. Instead of forming a company, they create a trust and appoint a trustee to manage the investment. The investors are the beneficiaries of the trust, and they have limited liability for their investment in the startup.

Overall, an unincorporated business organization (UBO) is a flexible and efficient way for investors to pool their resources and invest in a business or property without forming a company or partnership.

@PremiumFrequentCrane Is right.
You'll forever have those days where shit ain't getting done. Just a matter of how you handle them. (IE using Chatgpt to draft a motion for leave like meeeee)

look at my lawyer dawg... im going to jail
Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace

real quick question. How much do early applications matter? I have super strong softs and an ok LSAT score of 160. GPA wasn't great at 3.33. I applied in late march and I have been rejected everywhere so far

late march is way too late

Have you used the LSAC search for schools link? It helps a lot letting you know the probability of acceptance.
I mean early early might be overblown but dont apply if you are applying in march
