Legal Question in Business Law in Montana

Re: subject

Changing the name of an entity, including a church, cutting back or changing its activities, and/or hiding its assets will not absolve it from liability nor shield it or its human sponsors from suit. In fact, some such efforts could be classed as fraudulent, making the problem worse.

I'm a California attorney, and the answer is based upon California law, but nearly all jurisdictions would treat the situation similarly.
