Move deal into LLC after purchase?

[Tom MacDonald]

Hi BP, I have filed for an LLC but it is still being processed by the state. There is a deal that I want to put an offer on and I don't want to miss it. Can I put in an offer and purchase the property in my own name, then somehow move it into an LLC for tax and liability purposes?

Thanks,
Tom

There are also insurance (title and hazard) matters to consider.  The policy holder will be different than the property owner with an after-the-fact transfer.

I would offer as @Tom MacDonald or xxxx LLC for now. You can remove one as you obtain more info.

Is this property in the states?  What type?  A house? Commercial property is an entirely different animal.

Proper answers to this question completely depend on asset type and location.  Who knows what the laws are in a different country.
