What is a Trustee? The term is meant to imply that a client or clients who are the majority shareholders or majority member certificate holders, have nominated Inc Legal Services to appoint a Trustee and oversee that the Trustee completes their responsibilities. At ILS we are proud to offer Professional Trustee Services. It is important to understand that Trustee(s) have a responsibility to the shareholders/certificate holders that all legal responsibilities of the managers of the business have been reported annually and that their responsibilities according to the By-Laws/Operating Agreement have been satisfied.
Why should owners(s)/certificate holder(s) appoint Trustee(s), especially when owner(s)/certificate holder(s) might be part of the management team? Simply put, in the event of lawsuits against an entity it is common that when a manager also appears as a Director, the manager could also be named in the lawsuit. In Nevada Shareholders/Certificate holders are held privately, however, Trustee(s) are public on the internet. The key to asset protection is privacy. These services provide the ultimate form of continuance of the American constitutional principal, that of a citizens right for privacy!
