One of the reasons LLCs are a well-liked business form is that their ownership options are flexible. It is possible to alter the proportion of ownership in an LLC, but to make the change enforceable legally, the necessary procedures must be followed.
Reviewing the operating agreement is the first step in altering the percentage of ownership in an LLC. The ownership structure and any requirements for transferring ownership are described in the operating agreement. The LLC members must agree on the new ownership percentages and formalize the change in writing if the operating agreement is silent on the subject.
The operating agreement must be amended to reflect the new ownership percentages as soon as the LLC members have reached consensus on them. All LLC members’ names, the prior ownership percentages, the new ownership percentages, and the modification’s effective date should be listed in the amendment. All LLC members are required to sign the amendment.
The change should be submitted to the state where the LLC is registered after it has been written and signed. Each state has its own procedures for filing amendments, although generally speaking they require submitting a form and paying a fee. The new ownership quotas become official once the amendment is submitted.
Regarding the questions that follow, changing your name in Pennsylvania takes about 3–4 weeks.

A court order is issued and the name change is valid if the court grants permission.
In Pennsylvania, the same procedure must be followed if you want to officially alter your name back to your maiden name. A petition for a name change must be submitted, along with notices of the change appearing in local newspapers and appearances at hearings. A court order is issued and your name is legally changed if the court grants the name change.
You must file an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Health in order to alter your name on your birth certificate. A certified copy of the court order approving your name change and payment must be included with the application. Your birth certificate will be amended to reflect your new name once the application has been processed.
