James W. Martin is a Florida lawyer who practices Florida wills, trusts, and probate law, is an Adjunct Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law, and has written four books on Florida business entities and nonprofit organizations.

The author has seen limited liability companies (LLCs) improperly formed and maintained in Florida. Sometimes the LLC failed to document membership; other times the members failed to create an operating agreement; and other times they failed to hold meetings, file annual reports, and maintain records. Failure to comply with the basics of Florida limited liability company law has resulted in real estate title problems, litigation, and potential personal liability.

This book provides a step-by-step process with legal forms and checklists for forming and maintaining a Florida LLC to avoid these problems. It is primarily directed to attorneys because Florida LLCs are legal entities created under the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act, so having a law degree really should be a prerequisite to forming and maintaining an LLC.

However, the author realizes that we live in an age where nonlawyers freely access these materials on the Internet, so he has written this book in plain language that does not require a law degree to understand. But his message for nonlawyers reading this book is to be sure to engage a Florida-licensed attorney on their behalf to review any document before it is signed or filed.

St. Petersburg attorney James W. Martin has also written the legal forms book How To Form a Florida Business Corporation: A Guide for Lawyers as well as legal forms books regarding Florida real estate sales contracts and lease agreements and forming Florida nonprofit corporations.

This book was created for general background and educational purposes, is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
