Signing on behalf of LLC at Closing
My wife and I recently closed on a 5 unit building and purchased the property through an LLc that we own. My question is, does it matter how we signed the documents at closing? Each document had the LLC name above where we signed and then we signed our name underneath it. For all the leases with tenants, etc. we have signed our name followed by "on behalf of xyz LLC, as a member".
I'm just wondering from a legal perspective if we should have signed differently on the closing documents as well?
Also- would appreciate any referrals for attorneys/lawyers in the Cincinnati area.
Thanks!

How did you close on the property? With a title company? Was their any financing involved?
Reason I ask is the title company will prepare the docs according to lender requirements signature lines included.
Where no financing is involved and signing on behalf of the LLC there should be some verification that you are authorized to sign on behalf of the LLC but that is it. I don't see a need to add "on behalf of language".
