An operating agreement is optional, and authorized by the North Carolina Limited Liability Company Act (“the Act”). When an LLC is formed, rights of owners (called “members”) are governed by the Act until such time as all of the initial owners adopt an operating agreement.
By statute, North Carolina allows one party to delegate- or assign- its obligations to perform some service under a contract to another party unless the contract prohibits assignment, or unless the non-assigning party has some substantial interest in having the originally obligated party perform the work themselves.
In order to have a valid contract in North Carolina, there must be an offer, an acceptance, along with consideration. The parties must also have the capacity to enter into the contract.
The offer and acceptance form the agreement between the parties. The offer must be communicated, it must be complete and the offer must be accepted in its exact terms. Mutuality of agreement is a must. The parties to a contract must agree to the same thing inn the same sense.
An assignment of contract is a legal clause that allows for one party of a contract to transfer the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of that contract to another party. The party who is giving away the responsibility of the contract is the assignor and the party receiving is the assignee.
An assignment will generally be permitted under the law unless there is an express prohibition against assignment in the underlying contract or lease. Where assignments are permitted, the assignor need not consult the other party to the contract but may merely assign the rights at that time.
§ 25-2-210. Delegation of performance; assignment of rights. (1) A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract.
Such agreements can be in writing or verbal form. There are, however, limits to the types of verbal agreements that are upheld. In North Carolina, contracts that typically must be in writing include, but are not limited to: Any sale of property or land.
Who needs an operating agreement? Every LLC that is registered in the states of California, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, and New York is legally required to have an operating agreement.
While not always legally required, operating agreements play a critical role in the smooth operation, legal protection, and financial clarity of LLCs. Their absence can lead to governance by default state laws, management, and financial disorganization, and increased legal vulnerabilities.
