A little Background
I formed my LLC in the state of VA, where I live (YC Enterprises, LLC). Since I currently own two rental properties in Jackson, MS, I had register my LLC in the state of MS. However, the name was taken so I had to provide an alias (YC Enterprises Southeast, LLC). I recently had the two properties "Quit Claimed" to my LLC under the name YC Enterprises, LLC.
My question is should I have "quit claimed" the properties under the legal name or the alias or does it matter?
Side Note: If you do a search on the Mississippi secretary of state website, BOTH names are shown.
Logic tells me you would want to use the alias, but logic and government don't always go hand in hand.
You could probably call the local or state department that handles LLC's and get a pretty quick answer (should be a phone number online) and just ask the clerks until you get transferred to somebody that knows the answer. Another option would be calling an attorney in Jackson, MS.
Unless you run into somebody who has had this exact some thing come up, you may not get an "official" answer on here.
