You cannot retroactively change the name of the organizer once the entity is filed with the secretary of state. However, keep in mind that "organizer" does not mean that person is actually an owner of the company. It is simply the person or entity that files the articles.

If there was an enforceable agreement, whether orally, via e-mails or through a more traditional written agreement, it depends on the terms of the agreement. If there was not an agreement there cannot be a breach.
The Domestic LLC will officially be registered with the GA Secretary of State as "XYZ Co. LLC". I'm just trying to find out if I'm required to file for a DBA/Trade Name to drop the LLC portion for any kind of advertising or just reference to the company in general.

Generally, just dropping the company designation (LLC or Inc.) does not require a trade name registration.
I currently have a Georgia LLC doing video editing and will be moving to Michigan in a couple of months. Since I will be doing the work in Michigan I assume I would register there, but do I have to register as a foreign entity in Georgia? Will I end up paying tax to both states? How does that work?...

Assuming you will not be moving back to Georgia soon, it makes sense to just... Read more »

No. There is no form to change to a single member LLC. You just transfer the membership interests to you from your spouse. And you do not need to record anything or file anything with the SOS unless you included ownership in the Articles of Organization.

I am wondering if buying and renting residential property in GA means the out of state LLC needs to register as a foreign LLC in GA. No other business will be conducted outside of renting to tenants in the state of GA.
answered on Aug 16, 2022
Simply owning the property would not require foreign entity registration, but if the LLC rents out the property it would be deemed to be conducting business in Georgia and would be required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State.
