Without my knowledge. They already opened an LLC and sent me the paperwork to open the business bank account. Is it legal? I don’t understand how can someone open an LLC under my name without me being involved?
Obviously more facts are needed. But unless your name is Ford and someone opened another Ford and sells cars there, why not? Would their opening a business, using what happens to be your name, is creating some sort of market confusion? Is your name trademarked? Is your name already being used in... Read more »

This problem is not unusual.
The PPP loan program was the first of its kind ever; and the government allowed the nation's banks and other financial organizations to make too many lending decisions that the SBA should have made.

This new company they formed is 100% direct... Read more »
I’m not sure it is possible to answer this question intelligently due to insufficient facts. How are they member-managers if there’s no operating agreement? And you’re right, fiduciary duty would attach to member-managers. You need to retain a business lawyer to get into the facts in order... Read more »

You can review the invoices and ask administration office for explanation.
Unless the shareholders or directors object, yes.
Yes, thank you

Also, if your are indicted on federal charges . Is a lawyer still allowed to represent such indicted person ?

I have no idea what else you're asking but it sounds like you have bigger problems than proper business registration and should contact a lawyer... Read more »
purchasing a company and forming a new tax ID and name to rebrand company. Am i liable for any previous tax burdens or IRS audits?
If you have a new EIN, you did not purchase a company. You purchased business assets. You are not liable for its previous tax burdens or IRS audits.
I should add that the person would be a witness at court so they could be asked about it.
There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule, and some of them provide that a statement is admissible if the person who said it is present in court. But it would depend on what was published, as well as what the statement would be offered to prove.
That is not a do-it-yourself project. While you are not required to hire an attorney to draft the contract, you would be extremely unwise not to do so.

What protection is needed?
To start, you'd need to be more protective and discrete about your business ideas without disseminating them on the internet. And if you believe in your idea, you'd need to include legal costs as part of your start-up costs.
Good luck.
I'd like to open a DC comics-themed restaurant, do I need to buy a license from them, even though most of the characters are not listed for Hotels and Restaurants?
Yes, as well as corporate and possibly tax. The characters, likeness and their use are currently owned by DC Entertainment which is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers etc..
I need to refi the partnership property but can't due to lien on the LLC still shown on county records as owner. My attorney says since I didn't record quut claim its not legal but everything I read says it is. Is it?
The execution (signing/notarizing) of a deed legally effectuates the transfer, and the recording of the deed is to put the world on notice of the transfer. When it comes to liens, the order of recording can determine the priority of the liens. Ask your attorney to fully explain to you, and or... Read more »
