State corporation statutes continue to authorize corporations to adopt and use corporate seals. But do you really need one for your company? In California and New York, the answer is clearly “no.”
The law does not require an LLC Resolution to be notarized or witnessed by any third parties. In concept, there could be a requirement within a certain limited liability company which does require it – but that would be uncommon.
What should corporate resolutions include? Your corporation's name. Date, time and location of meeting. Statement of unanimous approval of resolution. Confirmation that the resolution was adopted at a regularly called meeting. Resolution. Statement authorizing officers to carry out the resolution.
A resolution, on the other hand, describes one action taken by the board at a meeting, is prepared separately during the meeting, and is attested to by the secretary of the corporation before the president approves it.
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.
The Corporate Resolution Document Has Several Purposes. It can also be used when new officers, directors or members are being added to or replacing current owners. It is a prerequisite to a Certificate of Incumbency. Unless we have a signed and notarized copy we will not be able to prepare this legal document.
In the event that a company decides to sell its property, it will require a corporate resolution to sell real estate. This is a straightforward document that cites the name of the buyer and the location of the company's property. The location of the real estate sold may be at a street address, section, block, or lot.
Bylaws document the rules for how the corporation shall be governed. Resolutions are prepared as needed to document important decisions and actions taken by the board of directors on behalf of the corporation.
