The New LLC Act in California – What Does it Mean for You?
California has a new Limited Liability Company (LLC) act which took effect January 1, 2014. The new law automatically applies to existing LLCs and the new law contains provisions that can result in forfeiture of LLC member rights, if action is not taken. If you are a member of a LLC, now would be a good time to have an attorney review the LLC operating agreement to ensure you are protected against possible forfeiture of your member rights. This is applicable to existing California LLCs and does not apply to foreign LLCs that have qualified to do business in California. Also, the new rules are not important for single-member LLCs or husband-and-wife LLCs. Please contact us if you need a referral to an attorney that can review your current operating agreement and make amendments to prevent forfeiture.
