Assignment of Interest for Real Estate Investors

If you own an LLC or Series LLC, chances are that you may need to handle an Assignment of Interest.

There are a wide variety of situations where assigning all or part of the interest of a company can benefit the business as a whole. How this process looks is governed by state law as well as the Articles of Organization for your particular LLC. Some common reasons you may need an Assignment of Interest include the below scenarios.

Lending Negotiations

Sometimes members of an LLC will use their shares of the company as collateral for a loan. This is a fairly common practice in the real estate industry. Members may assign all or merely a portion of their interest in this situation.

Debt Resolution

Forming companies and purchasing properties is expensive. Occasionally, members of an LLC may assign a portion of their interest in a company until their profits have satisfied a personal debt.

Personal Reasons

There is a wide range of reasons you may choose to assign your interest in your company to a trusted partner or family member. Marriage, death, or other major life events can raise this issue.

Why You Should Choose Royal Legal Solutions For Your Assignment Of Interest

BEWARE OF “FREE” ONLINE TEMPLATES

One mistake that some investors fall for is attempting to draft their own contracts or pulling them from free online services.

Perhaps you have seen that you can get certain templates for legal documents, including Assignments of Interest, from Legalzoom or another website. Any attorney will caution you against using these for your business. Ultimately, these “free” documents can cost you a great deal of money in the end.

Anyone can write something and give it away on the internet. So that document may have been penned by an attorney who makes $1500 an hour, or it may have been a school exercise for a student who does not speak English as a first language.

Frankly, it is impossible to know the source of such documents and they should be regarded with suspicion. Only an attorney with experience in the real estate field can tell you whether such a document would hold up under legal scrutiny. In fact, we have been called after clients of ours have made this mistake. Trying to correct errors in legal documents after the fact is infinitely more difficult, time-consuming, and costly to the client than hiring a professional to handle the document in the first place.

It is well worth the investment to ensure that your Assignment of Interest and other legal documents are properly drafted by professionals.
