Frequently Asked Questions

A directors resolution is a formal document that records the decisions made by a corporation's board of directors. It serves as an official record of the board's actions and is essential for maintaining corporate governance.

A written consent resolution is appropriate when the board needs to make a decision quickly without holding a formal meeting. This method is particularly useful for urgent matters that require immediate attention.

Yes, this kit is designed for use in all states, ensuring compliance with varying state laws regarding corporate governance and resolutions.

The kit includes a Directors Resolutions Checklist, instructions and samples for consent resolutions, and a Board of Directors Resolution form for authorizing the appointment of a lawyer.

While the kit provides templates and guidance, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure that the resolutions comply with specific legal requirements and the corporation's bylaws.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are part of a corporation may need this kit when they want to authorize the appointment of a lawyer without convening a formal meeting. This is particularly useful for corporations that operate in multiple locations and require quick legal representation.
  • Situations requiring immediate legal advice can arise unexpectedly, prompting a board to act swiftly. In such cases, utilizing a written consent resolution allows the board to authorize a lawyer's appointment efficiently and effectively.
  • For those managing a corporation that frequently engages in legal matters, having a standardized resolution template can streamline the process of appointing legal counsel. This ensures that all necessary legal protocols are followed, minimizing the risk of oversight.
  • Corporations undergoing significant changes, such as mergers or acquisitions, may find it necessary to appoint legal counsel rapidly. This kit provides the necessary framework to ensure that such appointments are made in compliance with corporate governance standards.
  • When a board of directors is faced with a conflict of interest or requires specialized legal advice, they may opt to appoint a lawyer through a resolution. This kit assists in formalizing that decision, ensuring that the process is documented and legally sound.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate when the board of directors is able to convene a formal meeting. In such cases, a meeting may provide a more thorough discussion and decision-making process.
  • If the corporation is facing legal issues that require immediate action beyond appointing a lawyer, this kit may not suffice. Urgent legal situations might necessitate direct legal intervention rather than a resolution.
  • For corporations that have specific bylaws or regulations governing the appointment of legal counsel, this kit may not be suitable without modifications. Always check your corporation's governing documents before proceeding.
  • In situations where the board members have conflicting interests regarding the appointment of a lawyer, this form should not be used without proper legal guidance to avoid potential ethical issues.
  • If the corporation is not in good standing or has unresolved legal issues, using this kit may not be advisable until those issues are addressed.
