SB 307 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Info. Rights of Estate/Death of LLC Member.

This bill creates a new legal status called "special economic interest owner" for the estate of a deceased LLC member in North Carolina. When a member dies, their estate automatically becomes this status, granting them three specific rights: the right to receive financial distributions (economic interest), access to company records (information rights), and the ability to seek court-ordered dissolution of the LLC if needed. The law applies to all LLCs in North Carolina starting October 1, 2025, and directly affects estates of deceased members who were not otherwise managing members. It does not change liability for existing obligations under the LLC.
