Yes provided the mortgagee agrees to the assumption of the mortgage. Try to get a release from the Mortgagee for future obligations under the mortgage.

My mother in law retired and she moved to El Salvador she wants us to take over her morgatge and she wants us to keep the house and pay for it , but how can we protect our selves from her not trying to get her house back in a future ?
answered on Mar 7, 2023
You would ask her to give you a deed to the property. Be sure to ask the mortgage lender to agree, so as not to trigger the due-on-sale clause of the mortgage.

Yes, you should register as a DBA, but I would additionally say it is simple enough and you should consider possibly just creating an LLC as well, it looks more professional for a business and if you discuss with an attorney, they can explain how it can create additional potential liability...

Interesting issue, which I don't have expertise in, but my somewhat-educated guess is: Regarding the issue of disclosure itself, without regard to whether it causes damage to the corporation, the answer to your question may depend on whether your corporation has a written confidentiality...

My experience with filing Articles of Organization via e-fax is it becoming effective the next business day. I have never had to wait 8 weeks. When you file the Articles of Organization specify an effective date 5 business days before the filing date. See Section 605.0702 of the Florida Statutes.
A business agreement was drawn up with an LLC but not signed.

"Corporations" are companies and can use "Co." in their title. They can also use the words "Corporation," "Company," "Incorporated," and "Inc."
LLCs are not "corporations." They are limited liability companies and must use "LLC."
Try to get a d/b/a.
How do I document the entire process and modify the corporation articles?

It depends on a couple of things. First, what does the operating agreement say about the withdrawal of members. If there is no operating agreement, then the withdrawal has to comply with Florida's LLC act. This isn't an expensive thing for a business lawyer to do, but you should really... Read more »

The articles should be file-stamped to show the date when they received it, even if they are unable to update the web site (Sunbiz, if Florida) immediately.

You would want to speak with a Florida Business Attorney and make changes to the LLC Operating Agreement and you would want to make any applicable changes to the Florida Department of State documents as they relate to business and ownership via an amendment probably as well.
answered on Apr 21, 2022
You do not have to register as a member. Your ownership should be reflected in the Operating Agreement.
