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... View 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?
answered on Aug 4, 2021
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.
answered on Aug 3, 2021
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.
answered on Aug 2, 2021
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.

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 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?
answered on Jun 8, 2021
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... View More
