Good for you, I admire you for taking your responsibilities seriously. I am not a lawyer. I am a general partner in
another family partnership.
My findings are that you now have to have both the federal EIN and you must file with the State, and
the Limestone County Clerk.
My thought is this is good news. You are now all protected at the federal, state and county level, would be hard
for any company to say they did not know of you or your heirs.
Last thing, if you live outside of Texas, you have to pay a lawyer a small fee to be your R.A. Strongly suggest you look outside the county for that lawyer. Good luck!
