Hi guys, I have some questions about putting property into LLCs/protecting assets, any information is greatly appreciated: Question 1: my understanding is that an LLC needs to be actively conducting business in its registered state in order for the LLC protections to apply, otherwise a judge could potentially pierce the corporate veil.
