Northampton Center, OH asked in Real Estate Law for Ohio

Q: If I own land that is in an LLC with two people, me and the other person, can they sign the land over to themselves?

Could they do anything with the land without my signature? Such as transfer it to their own personal name or sell it without my knowledge? We both have 50% ownership in the LLC
