Delaware Series LLC Formation Lawyer

What is a Series LLC? A Delaware Series LLC formation allows entrepreneurs plenty of added flexibility and versatility when compared to a regular LLC. The Delaware Series LLC is a business entity where a (“parent”) LLC is formed, and designated series (“child LLC’s”) are created underneath it with separate rights, powers, and assets. Organizing a Delaware Series LLC enables separation of ownership and liability for different business lines while retaining unified management. By doing so, each series can be treated—in many crucial respects, as if it is a separate and distinct business entity, limiting creditors’ legal recourse to the assets of that particular series alone. Each of the series of assets in a Delaware series LLC can act independently of the LLC in general and any other series and avoid their liabilities.

Delaware Series LLC’s Liability Protection

Here’s an example of a Delaware Series LLC formation’s effectiveness at protecting the LLC’s owners and their assets: Franklin and Eleanor are real estate investors and hire a Delaware Series LLC formation lawyer to create a Delaware Series LLC called ABC Limited with three series; A Series, B Series, and C Series. Once ABC Limited is up and running, they deed ownership of a parcel of land to A Series. Soon after, they transfer the building to Series B, and later set up operations of a retail store and transfer the inventory to Series C. By doing so, Franklin and Eleanor are able to limit their exposure to liability to a particular asset so that the other assets are not jeopardized, while retaining uniformity of control and administration.

Transfering Assets and Ownership within a Delaware Series LLC

Another situation where a Delaware Series LLC formation may be effective is when a business owns different divisions. The Members and Managers of the Series may want to stimulate productivity by granting ownership interests to members if they meet specified goals. For instance, Jesse James is the sole Member and Manager of XYZ, LLC, which is the parent of Series X, a medical supply distributor, Series Y, involved in medical equipment research and development and Series Z, which provides medical equipment installation and repair services. Jesse wants to bring in his brothers Frank, John Thomas and Archie. Frank will get a 49% ownership interest of Series X if he generates $500,000 in the next calendar year, John Thomas will get a 51% interest in Series Y if he is able to complete a heart regulator product line rollout by 2010, and Archie will get a 50% interest in Series Z if repeat repair calls are held down to 5% of all equipment installed. In this way, Jesse is able to segregate ownership and target the brothers’ expertise to specific operations and product lines, rather than share control in the overall business.

Which States allow a Series LLC formation?

However, because of the newness of the Delaware Series LLC formation, many states may not accept the separate and distinct nature of the Series LLC as intended by Delaware lawmakers and there is little or no case law. Thus, in the situation of a Delaware Series LLC formation where there will be series and operations in states other than Delaware, Delaware or Illinois (which also allows the Series LLC), the prudent approach would be to form an LLC in the other state with the Delaware Series LLC formation as the sole Member. For example, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhardt form a Delaware Series LLC, DEF LLC, with the business purpose of investing in real estate. Their first series, D Series, is created to hold Delaware property. Then they get a tip on a sweet land deal in Lakewood, New Jersey. Instead of creating E Series having the New Jersey land owned by it, Lindbergh and Earhardt decide to form a New Jersey LLC owned by their Delaware Series LLC, DEF LLC. While forming a new entity typically involves a greater cost in the short term, Lindbergh and Earhardt won’t have the hassle and uncertainty that New Jersey will not respect the series and deem the series assets a part of the Delaware Series LLC and thus expose the entirety of Delaware Series LLC assets to the claims of creditors.
