Montanna LLC

[George Lowry]

IF you are a resident of CA, then the CA bureaucrats will do everything
to get "their" share of your money. One of the definitions that CA uses
is that if you are in the state for six months plus oe day, then you are
a resident! Note that the six months does not have to be in one
stretch. Another that they like to use is that if you own property in
CA, then you are a resident. Had this pulled on a friend who owns
property in both CA and AZ but is a legal resident in AZ. To get out of
the hassle, he registered his vehicle in both states. This is illegal
and unconstitutional, but some bureaucrats will do that. You can own
property in all fifty states but only have to be a resident in one.
Remember that everything is a compromise. To get the good weather of CA,
you must pay the extra costs. So far, we have not found the "perfect
place" to live. Which is why we are now full time - we are still looking.

All of these firms in MT and in other states that perform these "agent"
services for LLC's and other corporations are careful to advise you to
comply with the laws of the state with which you are a "resident". Check
out everything and see if it meets YOUR requirements.
