resident agent

Read a random definition: tontine policy

A quick definition of resident agent:

A resident agent is a person who is authorized to act on behalf of someone else, called the principal. They can do things like sign contracts or make deals for the principal. Sometimes, a resident agent is also called a registered agent. They are important because they help the principal do business without having to be there all the time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person or company designated to receive legal and official documents on behalf of a business or corporation in a particular state or jurisdiction. This person or company must have a physical address in that state and be available during business hours to receive and sign for important documents.

Example: A company based in California that wants to do business in New York must appoint a resident agent in New York to receive legal and official documents, such as lawsuits or tax notices, on behalf of the company. The resident agent must be available during business hours to receive and sign for these documents.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a resident agent is necessary for a business to operate in a state where it is not physically located. The resident agent serves as a point of contact for legal and official documents, ensuring that the business is aware of any important information or legal proceedings. Without a resident agent, a business may miss important deadlines or fail to respond to legal actions, which can result in serious consequences.
