Form with which a corporation may resolve to authorize an officer or representative to file necessary official documents for a given purpose.
A corporate resolution is a legal business document created and written by a board of directors that describes and declares major corporate decisions. This document may explain who is legally allowed to sign contracts, prepare assignments, sell real estate or determine other decisions related to business transactions.
Obtain a copy of the corporate resolution form California from the Secretary of State's website or local office. Fill in the necessary information on the form, such as the name of the corporation, its address, and the date of the resolution.
Must include the specific date and time when the board met to pass the resolution. Must authorize a specific person or persons by name and title. Must include the types of contracts and agreements the specific individual or individuals can execute on behalf of the corporation.
A corporate resolution document does not need to be notarized, although if it involves other transactions then those might have to be notarized. Once the document has been signed off and dated by the chairperson, vice-chairperson, corporate treasurer, and secretary, it becomes a binding document.
