What Do Michigan Registered Agents Do?
In the event of legal proceedings involving your organization, a Michigan registered agent, alternatively referred to as a resident agent in Michigan, assumes the responsibility of accepting official notices dispatched by the state, typically through a process server. This encompasses legal notifications and other official state correspondence, which are then forwarded to you for timely action and response.
A registered agent is mandated to maintain a physical address within Michigan, known formally as a registered office, where they are available during standard business hours to receive these crucial notices.
Should your Michigan registered agent fail in fulfilling their obligations, your organization could face severe repercussions, including potential financial liabilities and the risk of default judgment if important notices are overlooked. This could result in adverse legal outcomes, such as rulings made in favor of the opposing party due to your absence.
To mitigate the risk of such detrimental outcomes, it’s imperative to exercise careful discernment and diligence in selecting your registered agent.
Why do I need a Michigan Registered Agent?
Registered agents serve as the designated official channel through which your business can be reached reliably and formally.
In the event of legal proceedings, such as being served with a lawsuit, the process server will deliver the necessary legal documents directly to your registered agent.
What are the requirements for Michigan registered agents?
- As stipulated by Michigan Law, both corporations under § 450.1241 and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) under § 450.4207 must adhere to certain requirements when designating a registered agent. The chosen agent can either be a resident of Michigan or a registered agent service provider authorized to operate within the state. Additionally, the registered agent must maintain a physical address within Michigan, known as the registered office address, where they can reliably receive legal documents. Furthermore, it is imperative that the registered agent remains available to accept such documents on behalf of the entity they represent, ensuring timely compliance with legal obligations.
