There is no way to tell who is reqiured to do what when you have "napkin" agreements between lay people. If you have concerns and its worth the expense, you need to retain a lawyer to review the situation for you. In any event, you should retain a local business lawyer to help you get your business paperwork in proper order to prevent this in the future.
