LLC

I just purchased an 'Agreement to Redeem Interest of a Single Member in an LLC' from US Legal Forms. In Section 1, we are not conveying to '___' any personal property (clause (ii)). Therefore, may I remove that portion to simply read, 'In complete redemption of his interest, the Company shall (i) make a cash payment to ___ of $xx.xx ?

We have a member/manger of our Arizona LLC leaving suddenly in order to provide the exact same services using one of our new contractors to do the work, because he can cut out the shared profits. We are an independent energy consultancy and marketing company for sustainable energy installers, perhaps a unique business model for our market that was hard to establish and educate the public originally. He will be in direct competition with us, and his using our business model will definately be taking from our potential client pool by using the same web marketing techniques, language, and a person that we were hiring to do work for us, but then suddenly disappeared to begin work for our withdrawing member without our knowing. We do not have a real operating agreement addressing terms for withdrawl, but of course assumed a fiduciary duty. Do we have any recourse or default restrictions under the law. We don't want to spend our life on this issue and wish him the best, but it is a competitive industry we are in with limited clientele he will be taking in order to make a few more bucks at our expense. I would prefer that he use new contractors, which there are many, and not resources or marketing language forged under the umbrella of our business. I am looking for general guidelines and specific knowledge of case law regarding the duties of a withdrawing a LLC member/minority owner without a detailed operating agreement in place.

I have a state tax lien on me. I own a few rental properties, could I transfer my property to an LLC without having the tax lien follow it?

My significant other and I have created and operated a successful restaurant for the past two years. Originally a friend volunteered to secure the line of credit to get it up and running and was the one who filed for the LLC which the restaurant operates under. He has now forced closure of the restaurant and wants us to buy the restaurant from him stating that he was the owner and my significant other was an employee. I have never been compensated for the many hours of work I have been at the restaurant. Is this a case for theft by deception? Can I seek compensation?

I have a GA LLC and want to sell all of the company to another person. What steps do I need to take?
