As some of you might know, I recently lost my Dad. It is by far the biggest loss I have faced, or will ever face in my life.
My brother, a Republican who preaches hard line right wing rhetoric while swearing to God and everybody that he is "independent" recently got out of prison (federal) for being a Kingpin. Before Dad went into the hospital, my brother, who can't find a job that isn't a fake one because he is a felon, started his own company. I signed on as his vice president. I went to City Hall a couple of times and purchased some tax properties.
After dad went into the hospital, my brother, uncle, and sister tried to get POA without knowing that dad had already set all of that up...listing me as the POA. They then tried to get guardianship, in what I am positive was a last ditch effort to circumnavigate Dad's will. It didn't work. I was appointed guardian.
So now, I am wondering...how do I cut ties with that dummy corporation my brother set up? I want to make *certain* he can't pull any funny stuff.
Oh, and did I mention that my sister was in an auto accident (her fault) and assumed my identity to the police/ This was 8 days before this guardian hearing.
This is my life right now. Any advice would be appreciated, but taken with a grain of salt.

(30,151 posts)I am just guessing by the way...
somebody smarter than I in these matters will probably chime in. I would think it is as easy as quiting, unless you are part owner in said company

(15,805 posts)Either way, you can incur significant liabilities as an officer. To protect yourself and your assets, contact an attorney for advice on how to legally extricate yourself from the predicament.

(16,296 posts)just sending a letter or posting an ad in a newspaper will not disassociate yourself from any legal proceedings that may pop up in the future. If you are or were a partner, you have in effect become a co-signer in any debt that company may have and be responsible for any acts it committed. I'll echo the earlier poster - go to a lawyer, file the correct papers, make it as legal as you can - take no half-ass measures or you will find that you may be liable for any costs the company has (you may already be). Get thee to a lawyer ASAP.

I can only send you well wishes, as I can only echo some of the suggestions here, in contacting a lawyer and making everything as legal as possible.
Sadly, that would also more likely than not, take quite a bit of change.

(6,913 posts)I want to emphasize the business law part. I'm a lawyer, but what I know about dissolving your relationship with a corporation could be put in a thimble.
Also, go kick your sister.
