What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
My business partner and I each owned 50% of an LLC we had started several years ago. After learning of some illegal things that he was doing, like funneling money into his own accounts, etc., I confronted him and got him to sign off his half of the business by telling him court would be his other option. He signed off on a witnessed and notarzied amendment to our company's Articles stating that he was no longer part of the company, that he would hand over all business documents, post office keys, etc. and close all bank and debit cards opened under the company name. To date, he has done none of these things and he agreed to this back in April. The bank refuses to close the bank account and transfer the money from that business account to the new account-they say they need a court order to do so. The small claims and civil division of our local court says that they handle monetary issues only and that the notarized statement should have been all the bank needed to close the account. They also recommended hiring an attorney, but that would require funds, which has been significantly diminished thanks to my former partner's siphoning. I need help, please.
