The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 completely changed the way LLCs taxed as partnerships will be audited by the IRS starting January 1, 2018.  Read LLC & tax attorney Richard Keyt’s article called “LLCs Taxed as Partnerships Must Adopt a Tax Audit Agreement” to learn why all LLCs taxed as partnerships must adopt a Tax Audit Agreement that contains language that deals with the new audit rules.  To hire Richard Keyt to prepare a $497 Tax Audit Agreement for an existing LLC formed in any state, complete his Tax Audit Questionnaire.  FYI: See the Questionnaire to get an idea of the different issues addressed in the Tax Audit Agreement.

Hire Arizona estate planning and LLC attorney Richard Keyt to prepare a custom drafted Confidential Trust the purpose of which is to disguise the ultimate owner of an Arizona LLC.  If you are the beneficiary of this trust you would name the trust (not you) as the member and/or manager of an LLC so that your name will not appear in the Articles  of Organization or on the records of the Arizona Corporation Commission. To learn more about the Confidential Trust read “How to Form an Arizona LLC without Disclosing Its Ultimate Owner(s).”  Note:  The $497 price is for people for whom Richard Keyt did not form a Gold LLC.  If Richard Keyt forms your Gold LLC, the price of an additional Confidential Trust after the first trust is $297 each and you can use our address service at no cost for the first year – a total savings of $300.

Was your LLC set up properly.  Is it complying with Arizona LLC law?  Have loans from members to the LLC been documented? If members transferred assets such as real estate, vehicles and other valuable property to the LLC have those transfers been properly documented?  Has the LLC purchased insurance appropriate for its activities?  These are just a few of the many legal issues raised in our unique LLC legal audit. ”

If you intend to form or have formed an Arizona LLC that will have or has more than one member (other than a two member husband and wife owned LLC), your LLC absolutely must have this critically important document.  The Buy Sell Agreement contains the members’ exist strategy.  For more about this important document, read Arizona LLC attorney Richard Keyt’s article called “A Multi-Member LLC’s Most Important Document: Why Multi-Member LLCs Need a Buy-Sell Agreement.”

Members have a short window of time after forming a new LLC to plan for a possible future departure of a member.  Richard knows from representing thousands of companies since he started practicing business law in 1980 that most LLCs that fail to adopt a Buy-Sell Agreement when the company is formed never adopt one.  Without a Buy-Sell Agreement, there is no easy way for members to part and go their separate ways when they need an LLC “divorce.”  A Buy-Sell Agreement can save members a lot of legal fees and emotional trauma in the event of the death, disability, bankruptcy, termination of employment, divorce (when the wrong spouse obtains the membership interest), expulsion after a default under the Operating Agreement, retirement of a member or other triggering ev4ent.

We charge $897 to prepare a comprehensive Buy Sell Agreement if we also form your LLC, a savings of $600 off the normal price of $1,497.  This reduced price is available only if your LLC purchases a Buy Sell Agreement within ninety days of the date the LLC was formed.  The fee includes 1 hour of attorney time conferring with members, modifying the agreement and drafting custom provisions.  Few of our LLCs exceed the allotted attorney time to finalize their Buy-Sell Agreement.  We will bill the LLC for any excess attorney time at the attorney’s standard hourly rate of $275.  For more about this important LLC document, read the BSA’s Table of Contents and LLC attorney Richard C. Keyt’s letter of explanation.

• $897 Buy Sell Agreement Order Form – if we formed the LLC within the last 90 days

We prepare a custom attorney drafted Operating Agreement for to be formed LLCs, existing Arizona LLCs that don’t have an OA and existing LLCs that have an OA, but need to amend it.  We have two Operating Agreements: $297 for the Operating Agreement for a single member LLC and LLCs owned solely by a married couple and $697 for an Operating Agreement for multi-member LLCs.

Each Operating Agreement is the product of Arizona LLC attorney Richard Keyt’s experience as a business lawyer since 1980 who has prepared 5,900+ LLC Operating Agreements.  Richard has invested hundreds of hours in writing a state of the art Operating Agreement that has provisions in it that he has created based on real life situations he has encountered representing members of LLC.  Your purchase includes one half hour of attorney time to answer questions and modify your Operating Agreement.  To learn more about Operating Agreements see “Why Your LLC Needs An Operating Agreement” and “Arizona LLC Operating Agreement FAQ.”

This document is akin to a Last Will & Testament.  When witnessed, signed by the owner of an Arizona LLC whose signature is acknowledged before a notary public, this document names the heir(s) who will inherit the interest of the owner in the LLC when the owner dies.  This document causes the membership interest to transfer automatically on the death of the owner and avoids a costly, time consuming and public probate.  To learn more about this topic see “Who Will Inherit Your Membership Interest in Your Arizona LLC When You Die?”
