[FL] [FL] Should I hire an attorney if the F.L.L.L.P. manager won’t communicate?

I’m in an F.L.L.L.P. The person who brought me in passed away 2.5 years ago. The lady in charge hasn’t communicated with me. The documents say I won’t receive payment until Jan 2026. Is that normal or should I hire an attorney? I don’t trust her.

Can I cancel a business purchase for misrepresentation?

I entered into a contract to buy a business on the 23rd of June. The person represented (put it in the contract as well) that the company did not have loans, and that there were no more than 30k$ in money owed to various vendors etc. He also stated that he had the lease on the building until the 15th and took money for the rent until the 15th (he put this in the contract also). The building owners came and said that he was behind on the rent, he had no right to sublease. I’ve found so far a 98k$ loan, outstanding health insurance bills, vendor bills, etc going up another 40k$ probably. He is holding the website and phone number hostage now. I’m locked out of the building. Can I just walk away from this contract at this point from how misleading he was? I’ve paid, but I’m more concerned with the customers that are owed work.

[TX] [TX] Is it legal for my boss to make me a partner and then have the business take out a loan to cover the buyout amount?

To restate the question — I’m wondering about the legality of my boss making me a partner, then the business pulling a $150,000 loan. My boss would take that money (the $150,000), sell me his share of the business for a dollar, and I (as the now sole owner of the company) would assume the debt and pay it back as the company.

[NV] How do I cancel a business investment?

It was more of an investment contract that made me a silent partner. I invested a certain amount of money that gave me a percentage of the profits and a guarantee on the return of my investment. The owners of the business never started the business.

How do I address limited partners in an LLLP Agreement?

[FL] [FL] How do I define votes in an operating agreement?

I have a question. My operating agreement says that amendments must be by "equal vote." There are three holders: two persons and a company. So the company gets one vote, correct?
