Q. Needs a Professional to help me register my LLC in Florida

27 April 2021

A: I can file your Articles of Organization, draft Operating Agreement and Organizational Minutes, obtain your FEIN, order minute book, and issue Certificate of Membership Interest.

Q. Forming a LLC in Florida to buy 2nd home, can I list condo address as the place of business before we take ownership?

23 April 2021

A: I would initially use your first home as the place of business and then amend the Articles of Organization once you have closed on the second condo.

Q. Back in 2005, how would a Florida general partnership transfer its assets when it changes to a corporation?

13 April 2021

A: You have to prepare a Bill of Sale and other transfer documents depending on the nature of the assets from the GP to the Corp. This would be the capital contribution of each partner as each partner would become a shareholder in proportionate to his or her partnership percentage. You would also prepare a Dissolution of Partnership.
