Nearly 41 million acres of land is owned (in part or in full) by foreign entities …with minimal federal regulation.
Join us for Part 2 as we continue our in-depth discussion on the federal and state rules regulating foreign ownership of U.S. land, including the reporting requirements of foreign investments in U.S. businesses and agriculture. Real estate lawyers, agricultural law attorneys, business advice and financial planning practitioners, and international/immigration counsel with intermediate practice experience who attend this online seminar will better understand:
- The federal and state legislative and litigation updates you need to be aware of;
- Illinois’ reporting requirements;
- The Corporate Transparency Act reporting requirements for certain foreign entities;
- How to navigate foreign ownership restrictions and title/escrow issues;
- The pitfalls to avoid and practical takeaways to be aware of when conducting real estate transactions in Illinois and surrounding states;
- The various hiccups that can arise, including types of restrictions, transaction hang ups, chain of title considerations, pre-approval requirements, and possible penalties; and
- Much more.
