Entity Property Problems

Business-Owned, LLC-Owned, and Dissolved Entity Property Problems

The property is owned by an LLC that no longer operates. Or a corporation that was dissolved years ago. Or a partnership where one partner is deceased. The registered agent is gone. The members cannot be located. No one has clear authority to sign a deed — and the title company refuses to insure until entity authority is established.

Common Entity-Owned Property Problems

Property Owned by Inactive LLC

The LLC that owns the property has not filed reports, paid fees, or operated in years. Administrative dissolution may have occurred.

Dissolved Business Entity on Title

The corporation or LLC was formally dissolved but the property was never transferred out of the entity.

Missing Members / Managers

The LLC members or corporate officers cannot be located, have passed away, or are no longer communicating.

Dead Member / Manager

A member or manager of the owning entity has passed away. The entity's governing documents may or may not address succession.

Registered Agent Issues

The registered agent resigned or cannot be located. The entity is not in good standing with the NC Secretary of State.

Rental Company No Longer Operating

The property was owned by a rental business that is no longer active. Tenants may still occupy the property.
