Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia
Can a person that owns 40% of a corp. pull out and take 40% of the assets?
2 Answers from Attorneys
If the paperwork says they can, they can. If the paperwork says they can't, they can't. Obviously if you have a corporation, you had a lawyer and a CPA assist you. They know what is in the paperwork. We don't since you chose not to tell us. Call your regular lawyer for an answer.
Unless there is some kind of agreement allowing you to do so, you cannot simply give back your interest and demand a portion of the current assets. If there is such a document, look to its terms. If not, you can try and negotiate a of buy-out with the other owner(s).
