[WSBAPT] Can a trust be a sole member of an LLC?

[Mark Reinhardt]

Susan,

Yes, a trust may be a member of an LLC.  In order to clarify who is managing the LLC, however, I prefer to have manager-managed entities with an individual serving as manager, with the trust as the sole member.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Can a trust be a sole member of an LLC?

I have a client who wants to put all of his assets in a revocable trust.  Fine.  But he has LLCs and he wants the trust to be the sole member of the LLC?  Does Washington law regarding LLCs permit this?  I imagine so, but I want to be sure.

Any comments will be very welcome.

Susan
