I’m looking for a referral to an attorney licensed in NY who can prepare a trust for my clients to transfer ownership of their NY real property into.  Sorry (mom) for ending that sentence in a preposition. 

 

Thanks!

Hi Anne, a friend would be happy to help if no one here is interested.
PS There actually is no "can't end sentence with preposition" rule, an anachronistic leftover from Latin, where there is such a rule, but which itself is an anachronism, because "Who learns Latin any more?"; so the chances today of conflating the two are minimal.
PPS Might be apocryphal, but - regarding the "preposition rule" Churchill is credited with saying, “This is the kind of pedantic nonsense up with which I will not put."
PPPS As a freelance editor, I can get quite pedantic, but I have no issue with ending with a preposition if - as Churchill pointed out  - is often the clearest way to write, and clarity trumps rules any day of my week, or book.
PPPPS Any time is a good time to market, so here are three books about "home" I recently edited.  Let me know if you know someone wanting to write!

I need to form an LLC for business that will ultimately be operating in
Queens.  It was suggested that I form in Albany with a Registered
Agent/Office and switch to Queens at a later time. Entity will operate a
restaurant, not hold property.  Apparently the publishing fees justify
this.

Anyone have any input?

Good evening.

My understanding is that it is not appropriate to publish in a county other than where the principal office of the LLC is located. I would not recommend this.

Two "newspapers", weekly for 6 weeks.  One that publishes daily, one that publishes weekly.  In 5 boroughs of NYC, clerk chooses the publications.  

IMO, in NYC it is corporate welfare for the newspapers.  Cost of publication in NYC boroughs can be many times the cost for other counties in the state.

New York’s LLC Law Section 206 requires virtually all new LLCs to publish a notice of formation within 120 days after its Articles of Organization are filed, in 2 separate newspapers (one weekly, one daily) in the county of their principal office for 6 weeks. The newspapers provide affidavits of publication which together with a Certificate of Publication must be filed with the NY Secretary of State’s Office and a filing fee paid. Failure to do so means the LLC cannot conduct business in NY (so for example it could not start a lawsuit).

 

Some service companies claim to be able to save people money by filing in Albany where costs are cheaper. This does not satisfy the statutory requirement.

Mindy,
It is my understanding that the mechanism is to have the entity formed in another county through the Registered Agent and utilizing the intermediary location as the principal office for the company, and at a later time transfer the company to the NYC county.   The requirements under Section 206 would purportedly be satisfied while the entity is sited in the non-NYC county.  

For my purpose this would be feasible, as the entity will not be operating for a number of months, but in the grand scheme of things 1,000 dollars difference may not worth it, especially if the legality is under dispute.  The selling point seems to be that it is a legal work around to what some view as a cost that is artificially inflated by the 5 borough clerks' process and an antiquated method of advising  the world of the creation of the entity.  It is a compelling argument, but I think I will play it safe.  

I appreciate everyone's time and effort to address my concerns.  

Mindy, I recall meeting you long ago while I was working at Bangser Klein Rocco and Blum, where I believe we were both members of the Coop and Condo commitee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.   Hope you are well.  

Regards,
Eric Salant

Commonly known as the "Albany Switch." 
Bottom line you will save on publication fees but while technically legal it has its critics: it may be condidered an intentional misrepresentation if designed to mask the company's real location for legal venue purposes.
