Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Non payment of bills

We have an llc with 4 partners holding a rental property. 2 partners have stopped meeting their financial obligations which is placing the remaining partners under a great deal of pressure. What recourse do we have on the non-paying partners?

Re: Non payment of bills

Generally, the rights and duties of the members are set out in the membership or operating agreement. If the two members are not abiding by the terms of the agreement, they may be subject to removal. Have a local business attorney review the LLC agreement and that should answer your questions.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

How to deal with partners who do not meet their obligations, as well as removal of them, SHOULD be addressed in your operating documents. However, I have seen some sloppily prepared documents that failed miserably in this regard. Consult with a local attorney.

Re: Non payment of bills

IN the first instance, this should be covered in your operating agreement. You should have an attorney review the agreement and advise you of your rights. It may require litigation.

If the operating agreement does not address this issue, the situation is much more complicated, and will almost certainly require litigation. Again, consult an attorney for advice.
