In addition to all other methods of dissolution, if a limited liability company is no longer doing business, and owes no debts, and owns no immovable property, it may be dissolved by filing an affidavit with the secretary of state executed by the members or by the organizer, if no membership interests have been issued, attesting to such facts and requesting that the limited liability company be dissolved.

The biggest advantage of a dynasty trust is that it c

As notaries, we realize our actions have consequences. We can't help but be nervous when a person comes into our office to sign a durable mandate, and the agent is a person who makes us wonder if they have the principal's best interest at heart, or perhaps just their own. That's creepy, and worrisome. Our legislators have received numerous complaints in this area by constituents who want protection for the aged and vulnerable who find themselves in this very situation.

An assignee does not have the rights of a member. _For

Senate Bill 358 by Senator Luneau would provide for electronic notaries public and electronic notary acts. The LNA legislative team believes this legislation fails to create an e-notary framework that protects the public and is not consistent with our civil law tradition. The Chairman of the House Committee on Civil Law & Procedure-Representative Raymond Garofalo, Jr.-has placed HCR31 on the Committee's agenda for this Monday (April 9th) at 1pm.
