Transferred contract to LLC, wondering why we still have to sign with our names
My husband and I put in an offer on a house under our personal names with "or assigns" as part of the contract. As soon as the offer was accepted, we set up an LLC and transferred the contract over to the LLC, of which I am the sole member. This has now been signed by the seller for over a week. Our realtor has continued to have us personally sign all the documents as they have come in (home inspection, personal property sale, etc). My husband thinks he shouldn't have to sign these documents anymore since we transferred the contract to the LLC but my realtor is telling me that we have to personally sign all these documents despite having done the transfer. Does anyone have experience with this and know one way or the other?
Also, if anyone has a legal advisor in Virginia that is interested in working with a small investor (this will be our 2nd investment property), please pass their name and info along. Thank you!
