Thanks

[@coastalcontractingllc2409]

Your suggestions for these provisions are very useful. Thank you so much for sharing these Legal GEMS! Your explanation on each of these was very helpful to understand the need. Then you have followed that up with a link to your Google doc. with the legal wording so we can add as needed to our unique LLC's. You are the best Attorney on KZbin and wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all that you do!

Clint, super helpful along with the previous vid on why you need an OA. Could you do a video on unique or key provisions you need in an OA if your member is a qualified ret. plan like a SDIRA or a Solo401K?

[@ClintCoons]

Yup. Thanks for the idea.

[@alvinchambers3014]

Please help i cannot find your link on this subject matter. Also this was a very good video. You reminded me of an attorney who setup my 1st company. Once everything was completed he sat down with me in his offices and showed me fhe Indemnification cause l. That he did for my company many years ago.

[@HopeProphecy]

Hi Clint, great info. I am a bit confused on your 3rd clause. Isn't it true that if you have regularly scheduled distributions in your operating agreement, then a potential creditor could argue that they are entitled to those regular distributions?

[@ClintCoons]

Correct. You do not want to take regular distributions.

[@HopeProphecy]

@@ClintCoons thanks

[@seanmclaughlin7415]

This is great info, Clint! Thank you for doing this! One question, is this also for single member LLC’s? Also, I see many blank lines wishing your Operating Agreement document. Not sure what I am using to fill those in. Would you mind guiding us with this?

[@El_mallik]

Thank you for doing this! I have my operating company in California that’s owned by a holding company in New Mexico. Can I take money from operating company directly or is it supposed to flow through holding company?

[@bergencounty6602]

May I ask why you chose New Mexico?

[@headlibrarian1996]

If you have no direct ownership of the operating company you must first transfer funds to the holding company, then to yourself. If you transfer directly to yourself you open the door for a plaintiff's attorney to argue that they should be allowed to sue the holding company directly, putting everything else in that holding company at risk.

[@headlibrarian1996]

@@bergencounty6602 New Mexico is another "no public listing of members and managers" jurisdiction, like Wyoming is. I assume that's why the OP is using it.

[@theguy2605]

Youre the best, any recommendations on an operating agreement for arbitrage ? How much would you charge me to make one

[@headlibrarian1996]

Doesn't filing Articles of Dissolution (or the corporate equivalent) start running the clock out on not yet filed claims?

[@ClintCoons]

It would depend on the type of claim and statutory of limitations.

[@mikejames9035]

Question: If you live in a city that you have to file a business city license,... and they want to know the owner or an agent's name with a copy of their driver license. How would you set this up for anonymity? I'm not sure if the city keeps a public database for anyone to publicly sees who is the owner of the business license. Assuming there is already a wyoming llc used for privacy for filing the business license in the city.

[@ClintCoons]

In that situation you my have to disclose yourself as an officer of the LLC. There isn’t any way around it when it comes to business licenses.

[@mikejames9035]

@@ClintCoons Thanks for response. I might need to find another place to set this business up

[@user-wg5ov4fg6n]

Question: If you have a provision that the Manager alone at his discretion must authorize all distributions, but the charging order is against the manager, do you now have a situation where he would be forced to authorize a distribution?

[@ClintCoons]

Not at all.

[@organizer14]

Cannot find the link you refer to in this video. Where is the link? Thanks very much!!!

[@ClintCoons]

My pleasure!

[@DimitriZen]

should an operating agreement be recorded? What if it includes a TOD provision?

[@ClintCoons]

No you do not record your operating agreement even if it has a TOD. It is private.

[@85OGeezy]

How much does your firm charge to draft an operating agreement for a single member-managed LLC (business)?

Okay I am not going to be a lawyer I know enough to organize that I will do that when I have a need Right now I don’t even have a pillow to put in a house

[@frankmartinez2987]

Thank you for this information. What if One wanted a provision prohibiting dissolution altogether? What would the strongest, while still enforceable, form of such a provision look like?

[@ClintCoons]

Why would you want to use such a provision? I am not sure if it is enforceable.

[@frankmartinez2987]

@@ClintCoons Setting aside enforceability concerns, there can be high aesthetic value in the creation of something you can be certain will continue in perpetuity even if everyone else abandons said something.

[@shamroccofficial2885]

As much as this video deserves and needs more views, a part of me is glad it doesn't. If every LLC entity implemented your wisdom, the system would have more reason to restrict some of those abilities.

[@ClintCoons]

Right. NPR did an episode on anonymous LLCs and used one of my videos to explain how "unscrupulous landlords" hide their identities.
