I am looking to form a non profit organization however only 2 people are involved

Answered 13 years and 5 months ago by attorney Diana L. Anderson   |   1 Answer

People wanted to do this in my town - it was controversial and I don't think it ever got off the ground.  Good luck to you.  Unfortunately, the requirements for a three person board are designed so that you have "back up" if you and the other person involved are not able to complete what needs to be done.  Have you considered seeking input/volunteers from the community?  Or other people from maybe the local SPCA or a veteranarian?  Try getting the third person on board before you start to do the formal documentation....

Want to create a LLC or LP with multiple limited partners or members for an extended period of time. Which is best? in what state?

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer

It is generally cheapest to form the entity in the state where your principal place of business will be located. in most cases, there are few benefits to organizing in another state, see an attorney to discuss the appropriate form of entity, which depends on facts you have not set forth.

If a non-compete agreement was signed in 1986, and the company has been sold 2x to different companies, is the agreement signed still binding?

In order for the contract to still be valid, there needs to be language in the agreement stating that the contract is valid to any or all successors, and/or any assignment of the contract does not effect the validity of the contract.  You should speak with a local employment law attorney to determine if there are any state or local laws that also may impact the validity of the contract. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read Answer
