Creating LLC Series vs Professional
Does anyone have any information regarding forming an LLC in Alabama? Alabama apparently has the option of selecting Series V Professional. Is it required that I choose one when forming an LLC here?

In Texas, a professional LLC is for doctors, lawyers, accountants etc... not professional REI. Alabama may be different though. You should be able to check your state's laws online for free to see what the requirements for a professional LLC are.
