who is responsible for a warranty once a corporation is sold? Are the new owners responsible for the warranty work?

Answered 13 years and 7 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
You need to read the warranty agreement, but the answer depends on numerous facts.  However, if the company is still in existence, the contract likely will still be valid.  A corporation is a separate entity from the individuals who own the company.  Just because the company was sold to new owners does not exempt the company from performing on any contracts that it may have previously created.  You may need to consult with a local contracts attorney to determine where liability stands, and who to hold responsible. 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 More

Is it legal in Tennessee for a non-profit corporation board to move reserve funds around to pay for maintenance? Ex. Painting Reserves for Concrete

Answered 13 years and 8 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer

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.

Answered 13 years and 9 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
It depends on several issues.  You should read the non-compete agreement, and look for an assignment and/or survivability clause.  Additionally, you should read any contracts that you signed that may incorporate the non-compete agreement as part of the contract.  Lastly, you should contact a local employment law attorney to determine the survivability of the non-compete agreement, and how you should proceed.  This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature.

If you charter with an organiaztion that is non profit does the representative have the authority to step in if funds are being misused?

Answered 14 years and 7 months ago by John Raymond LaBar (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Once the non-profit corporation is established, the governance of the entity is vested in the Board of Directors and the committee according to the Tennessee Non-Profit Corporation Act and the specific by-laws of the corporation.  As such, a representative is without any power to take any action solely in this capacity. This answer is not legal advice on your specific situation and does not establish the attorney-client relationship.  You should consult an attorney regarding your specific fact scenario.  ...
