In order to sell a percentage of an LLC can the existing partners just sell a percentage ownership of the LLfC for an amount of

Also, the sale should be structured so that you are protected from any claims by the purchaser after the sale if he or she becomes dissatisfied with the nature of the business.

Unincorporated Snohomish Business/Residential Zoning

I have a 60' ingress egress and utility easment on my property. how ever the current road on that easment is gravel and is 30 '

No. The fact that the existing roadway does not extend for the entire 60' width of the easement area does not result in the loss to the holders of the easement right of the remaining width of the easement. The Washington Court of Appeals for Div. III, which essentially covers Eastern Washington, held in 2007 in the case of 810 Properties v.
