Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Blue Back preparation for forms/papers

To label and attach a backer:

1. Print the text (using your computer's printer) to the backer before you do anything else; you can find suitable text on the form that you filled out to dissolve the organiazation if you downloaded from the State's website. New York tends to put the text too high on their forms, so you might want to copy and paste that backer text into a word processing document and add some top margin space. I use Microsoft Word and I find that about 10 lines (12-point type) between the top margin and the start of my text is sufficient.

2. Put your Certificate of Dissolution on the top of the pile of materials you're sending to the state.

3. Put the backer on top of the Certificate of Dissolution with the text facing the Certificate's text. Make sure that the top of the backer's text faces the top of the Certificate's text.

4. Straighten the papers so the pile is neat; no ragged edges on the sides, and the top edge is even, too. The backer, if you bought a real backer from a stationery store, will be longer than the papers; that long edge should extend past the bottom of your pages.

5. I generally staple three times; once about 1/4-1/2 inch from each top corner, once about 1/4-1/2 inch from the top in the middle between the two corner staples; others may staple twice or four times. The trick is to make sure your center staple(s) is not lower on your pages than are your corner staples.

6. Fold the backer over the staples and over the top of your pages and pull it down over the back of the stack of papers so the text to the backer is now facing out from the back of the pile of papers you're sending to the state. Sharpen the creases with your fingers.

Of course, the easiest way to do this is to take your complete pile of papers into a lawyer's office and ask the secretary to please attach the backer for you. Legal secretaries are the real pros at this. But it's not as hard as it sounds; it's sort of like folding a pair of socks in on themselves, and once you do it a couple of times you get the hang of it. Give it a try with some scratch paper before you attach your backer to your papers just for practice.

Re: Blue Back preparation for forms/papers

use legal sized blue paper, type on it the caption of the case... for example the top should look like this

*allow about 4 blank lines* (all below is just sample information - you would obviously fill out the info as relevant to your case)

SUPREME COURT OF STATE OF NY

COUNTY OF KINGS

----------------------------

Party #1,

plaintiff

v

Party # 2

defendant

----------------------------

In the matter of the dissolution of Corp. X

'include a list of all documents attached'

*1. fold the top of the blue sheet over so the blank space is now folded over and the lines with the first few typed lines are at the very top

2. refold the folded over section in half

3. open the document so its flat

4. turn it over so the print side os facing the top of the other documnts

5 staple them together

6. flip over blue sheet... it should now be covering the top of all pages and on the bacl with the printed words facing out...

good luck!

PS - if youre having an issue with something such as this you may want to consider hiring an attorney to handle this matetr for you to ensure you dont end up havig to pay taxes in the long term for a corp. which was never properly dissolved...

much luck!

feel free to contct us on this or any future matter at 212.709.8303

*it seems as if this doesnt print well on this site... the document should look like a box on the top left hand portion of the blue paper, with all the info atop and within the box
