LLC Operating Agreement
Florida
What happens to LLC when member dies?
I want to create an operating agreement that explains what happens with the business in case one of the members died. We have an LLC. We want to create an operating agreement that states how the business will keep working in case one of our members dies.
Rishma E.
Membership interests in an LLC are considered the personal property of the interests holders. As such, you will need to include clauses in which you specifically name beneficiaries for those membership interests upon death of the interests holders. You may additionally need to include procedures for transfer (for example through membership certificates).

Severance Agreement
New York
Can I negotiate the terms of a severance agreement with my employer?
I have recently been informed by my employer that my position is being eliminated due to company restructuring, and they have offered me a severance agreement. However, I have concerns about some of the terms in the agreement, such as the non-compete clause and the amount of severance pay being offered. I would like to know if it is possible for me to negotiate these terms with my employer before signing the agreement.
Arthur S.
Severance Agreements are often presented to employees as a "take it or leave it proposition": however, it has been my experience that many of the underlying provisions of these severance agreements are, in fact, negotiable. Also, as an employee, you are not without rights...a fact that is often, though reluctantly, recognized by employers. the agreements prepared on behalf of employers are often heavy handed and should not be entered into by the employee without advice of coounsel./

Asset Purchase Agreement
New York
What should be included in an asset purchase agreement?
I am considering buying a chain of laundry mats and have been told I would need an asset purchase agreement for the legal paperwork involved. I don't believe I want to buy the business, but am not sure. I think I would just want to buy their machines and take over their leases. If this was the case, what would I need to have in an agreement?
Michael S.
As the buyer, your preference is always to by the assets rather than the existing business entity. That way, you will have greater protection against liabilities of the business that arose before your purchase. You can also structure the deal so that you're buying only those assets you're interested in, and can carve out those assets you don't want to buy. You do want an attorney assisting you, as there are pitfalls in the process, and you want to be protected. Thanks.

Operating Agreement
Texas
Can an operating agreement be amended without the unanimous consent of all members?
Can an operating agreement for a limited liability company (LLC) be amended without the unanimous consent of all members, specifically in a situation where one member wants to introduce changes to the agreement but another member is opposed to the proposed amendments? I am a member of an LLC and we have encountered a disagreement regarding certain provisions in our operating agreement that one member wishes to modify in order to better suit our evolving business needs, while another member believes the existing agreement should remain unchanged. We are seeking clarification on the legal requirements for amending the operating agreement and the extent to which unanimous consent is necessary.
Ricardo A.
The ability to amend an LLC's operating agreement without unanimous consent depends on the provisions explicitly stated in the operating agreement itself and the governing state law. Here are the general considerations based on your uploaded documents: Operating Agreement's Amendment Provisions: If the operating agreement specifies that unanimous consent is required to amend the agreement, all members must agree before any changes can be made. Some agreements allow amendments with a lower threshold, such as a majority or supermajority vote, which could permit changes without unanimous consent. Default State Laws: If the operating agreement is silent on amendments, state law typically governs. Many state laws default to requiring unanimous consent for amendments, but this varies by jurisdiction . Provisions Adversely Affecting Members: Even if unanimous consent is not generally required, amendments that disproportionately or adversely affect a specific member often require that member's explicit approval. Operating Agreement Example: In one of the agreements reviewed, a specific clause stipulates that amendments generally require unanimous consent unless the change is a technical clarification or otherwise allowed by a specific majority vote. To resolve your disagreement: Review the Operating Agreement: Look for any specific provisions regarding amendments and voting requirements. Consult State Law: Identify the state where your LLC is formed and review applicable LLC statutes for default rules on amendments. Seek Legal Advice: An attorney licensed in the applicable can clarify whether proposed amendments align with the operating agreement and applicable laws.
