Mark Kohler explains that an LLC is just paperwork unless you maintain a corporate book, operating agreement, and meeting minutes. Without formal governance records, you lose legal protection in court. He warns against sellers promising bulletproof trusts and recommends proper documentation as your real defense.

If your LLC consists of one sheet of paper on LegalZoom from 3 years ago, that is not an LLC. Good luck in court. You got to have your corporate book. You got to have an operating agreement. You got to have minutes. And when you hold your board meeting, that's the meeting minutes to legitimize your LLC or your corporation. Super easy. So it makes you more legit. It's great. Now there's no bulletproof asset protection. I hate it when people say bulletproof and they're trying to sell these crappy trusts out there. Be careful. But just having good board meeting minutes for all of your entities, so easy, so good.
