Formation of Legal Entities

There are 2,000,000 limited liability companies in Florida and 1,000,000 business and nonprofit corporations. St. Petersburg real estate attorney James W. Martin has seen many limited liability companies, business corporations, and nonprofit corporations improperly formed and maintained. Some failed to issue stock or memberships; others failed to file annual reports and keep minutes of meetings; and others failed to maintain corporate records. Failure to comply with the basics of Florida entity law has resulted in real estate title problems, litigation, and potential personal liability. Each of these ebooks written by this Pinellas County attorney provides a step-by-step process with forms and checklists for forming and maintaining a Florida legal entity to avoid these problems.
