Transferring single member LLC to another person

by med

My LLC is a single member LLC- 100% ownership is mine. I would like to transfer complete ownership to someone else(relative). Can I just make a transfer document and do it or do I have to redraft the operating agreement?

What other requirements are there for transfer?

Answer

You're going to need to do the following:

1. Assign your interest in the LLC to the buyer.

2. Amend the Operating Agreement to add the buyer as a member and remove the seller as a member.

3. Amend the Articles of Organization with they state (only some states require this, for example, Arizona does).

4. Draft a resolution of the members of the LLC approving the sale of the interest.

Federal Impact??
by: Anonymous

This is all well and good for the state level.
What happens on the Federal since you were 100% owner if you had established a Federal EIN. State law rules? or? how does the transfer happen on fed level to get your ss detached from the EIN - a new EIN? a new name?
