Francesville, IN asked in Business Law for Indiana

Q: Partner in LLC...who is also husband in failing marriage...trying to coerce me into signing

The Unanimous Written Consent Of Resolutions stating I also authorize trade of farmland for two other tract plus a house. He only consulted about 2 tracts, which I agreed to the 2 tracts. He then also purchased house for himself in this trade. (so 2 tracts plus house instead of just 2 tracts as I was told) He told me after committing to it. (a while back he said he would purchase a house for himself, when I said it wasn't fine to use joint money he responds with, "you can't stop me") He closed on it and is now expecting me to sign as member of LLC. I didn't agree to it. and if I sign it will show I did. What can I do? What if I don't sign as only other member? What will that do to LLC? If I don't sign how can he adjust to make it work for him? If I sign I can't then say he purchased without my consent as this now gives consent. ?

A: You answered your own question: If you think anyone is "trying to coerce" you into making a business decision, you should get on the phone with your lawyer immediately. Do not agree to anything without getting an independent professional opinion and advice from counsel.
