31 M.R.S. §826: Execution

Each document delivered to the Secretary of State for filing pursuant to this chapter must be executed in the following manner.

1. Signatures. Except as provided in subsection 2, the documents must be signed as follows:

A. In the case of the initial certificate of limited liability partnership, by one or more partners who are authorized;

B. In the case of a certificate of amendment, restatement, certificate of correction or any other document filed under this chapter not otherwise provided for, by at least one partner; or

C. In the case of a certificate of renunciation or other document filed after the dissolution of a registered limited liability partnership:

(1) If the partners are winding up the registered limited liability partnership's affairs, then by the contact partner or by a majority in interest of the partners; or

(2) If the partners are not winding up the registered limited liability partnership's affairs, then by all liquidating trustees.

2. Signature by agent. Any person may sign any certificate or amendment to a certificate, including an attorney-in-fact. An authorization, including a power of attorney, to sign any certificate or amendment to a certificate need not be in writing, sworn to, verified or acknowledged and need not be filed with the Secretary of State, but if in writing, it must be retained by a partner.

3. Unsworn falsification. The execution of a certificate containing false statements constitutes unsworn falsification under Title 17‑A, section 453.
