What happens to your LLC name during dissolution
If your LLC was dissolved and another entity claimed the name during the dissolved period, you may need to pick a new name. Wyoming SoS does not reserve names of dissolved LLCs. Check name availability before filing reinstatement.
Asset protection during dissolved period
Caselaw varies on whether liability protection is fully restored for the dissolved period. Some courts treat the LLC as never having existed during dissolution for liability purposes; others restore retroactively. Consult counsel for long-dissolved LLCs (over 1 year).
