What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I started an LLC to protect my personal assets from any possible suit. I am writing a book and although it's not a kiss & tell memoir, it is a memoir. The subject died and the widow is threatening to sue me over things like:
From what I've learned, she can sue me if I publish the book and attempt to stop it from being published. I doubt she would do that but she might.
Question is, would be only be able to sue the LLC or would she be able to touch my personal assets? The whole reason I set up the LLC is when he first asked me to write his memoir, just for this possibility downstream.

- she doesn't like the photo I chose for the cover
- she wants full approval rights of the manuscript
- she wants the book to be part of the deceased subject's estate
- she suddenly decided (upon someone else's advice) that I'm a ghostwriter and my name should not be on the book.
