What to do when separating from a nonprofit corporation?

[Isaac206]

I started a nonprofit corporation with a friend in PA. The article of incorporation has both her name and mine. The employer identification number was registered with my name alone. I did all the applications and all correspondences are with my name and address. We have a bank account with all money from her and others. Now I am leaving and I don't have trust on her and others. I just want to make sure that I will be off the hook if they got into any legal troubles in the future. What should I do?

If you're listed as the registered office, the corporation should file a new one of those.
Incorporators don't have any ongoing responsibility to the corporation.
You can update the contact information on the EIN by following the process here

Resigning as agent of a nonprofit

your state should have forms online to change the name of the acting agent of the corporation. Once the change is made, you will be off the hook from that day forward.
