Miami, FL asked in Business Law, Civil Litigation and Contracts for Florida

Q: If someone signs a JV contract with an LLC name that has not been filed, can I void it?

A joint venture contract was signed and the other person put a name of an LLC that was not filed until the following day, it showed up officially about 5 days later on sunbiz.org. I want to know if I can claim this contract void if the day of signing the agreement, their LLC did no exist.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: No, the filing on Sunbiz relates back so as to ratify the contract.
