Legal Answers
644 Questions Answered
- Q. I and another person brought property together. We were together now we are apart. Both names are on the three propertie
- A: Depends on how the properties are held. If the properties are purchased with a business entity, you may need to dissolve the business and liquidate assets. If the properties are just held jointly, then you may need to file an action to partition (sell) the properties. You can certainly try to reach an agreement with the other person to buy you out, but often these issues take a lawsuit to resolve. Consult counsel to determine your options.
- Q. What if you won your case and don’t know former employers work address and your lawyer want return calls or emails ?
- A: You can hire someone to perform a background check and skip trace for assets if you have a judgment. In Tennessee a judgement is good for ten years and can be renewed by motion. If you discover assets, you can garnish wages, levy accounts, and personal property.
- Q. If my LLC doesn't have an operating agreement and a member decides to leave do they owe the company for any debt?
- A: Depends on the debt. Are they personally obligated? Is the business just in debt? Or does it have a positive fair market value? Typically, without an operating agreement, when a member quits the LLC pays fair market under TCA 48-249-505. But there are other considerations as well. Consult counsel for a determination.
