Re: Bulk Transfers in Nevada

Nevada's bulk transfer laws were repealed many years ago.

The remainder of the inquiry involves the specific provisions of the corporate organizational documents, particularly the articles of incorporation and the bylaws. In the absence of a clear authorization for or prohibition of the transfer in question, the directors are subject to the "business judgment" rule, affording wide discretion to officers and directors generally and legal immunity in many situations.
