Consult a lawyer for specific requirements and implications.Full Conversation
The silent partner who owns the land will not be responsible for the loan debt repayment.
I see you're dealing with a situation involving land ownership and loan responsibilities. It's essential to understand that:
- The entity owning the land, like an LLC, is typically responsible for any liabilities, including loans.
- Silent partners generally have limited liability unless stated otherwise in agreements.
Would you like more information on setting up legal agreements for silent partners?

The silent partner is the one who owns the land though. And their agreement with the entity developing the land has stated that they will have no legal obligation for the loan. Is this true? Can such an arrangement be made or is this wrong?
Yes, such an arrangement can be made. Here are some key points to consider:
- Agreements can specify that a silent partner will not have legal obligations for loan debts.
- The agreement must be clear and legally binding, often requiring legal assistance.
- Ensure all parties understand and agree to the terms.
Would you like guidance on drafting or reviewing such agreements?

Therefore, how/why is the land (that the silent partner owns and is putting up as their portion of the business) being asked to be transfered to the development company's LLC and not retained as seperate ownership in the trust?
Case Rating: *
The land is likely being transferred to the LLC for several reasons:
- Liability: The LLC can directly manage liabilities associated with the land.
- Financing: Banks prefer the entity developing the property to own it for loan security.
- Operational Control: The LLC can make decisions efficiently without trust limitations.

But we don't want that land in the LLC. That would give ownership of the land to the LLC wouldn't it? How does the silent partner or trust retain ownership?
Case Rating: *
If the silent partner wishes to retain ownership, consider these options:
- Lease Agreement: The LLC can lease the land from the trust, preserving ownership with the trust while providing operational control to the LLC.
- Joint Venture: Structure a joint venture agreement where the trust retains ownership but collaborates with the LLC on development.

is Joint Venture different than Silent Partner?
Case Rating: *
A Joint Venture and a Silent Partner are indeed different:
- Joint Venture: A business arrangement where two or more parties collaborate on a specific project, sharing profits, losses, and control.
- Silent Partner: An investor who provides capital but doesn't participate in management or operations.
Would you like to know more about how these arrangements can be structured legally?
