Getting Out of a Contract
Promises are made to be kept and contracts are made to be performed. But the law allows you to walk away from a contract you've agreed to for several reasons. Here are some lawful reasons for rejecting a contract, including most common "defenses."
Limited Liability Company
Many small businesses are limited liability companies (LLCs). An LLC is a business form that combines some of the features of a partnership and a corporation. One of the benefits of the LLC is that members are generally shielded from personal liability for its debts and obligations.

Sole proprietorships are the simplest and most common form of business. But, that doesn't mean that there are no disadvantages to using such a form for your small business, or that there aren't some rules you have to follow when forming a sole proprietorship.

Is there a way for us to create a newly formed LLC with both of us a members, buy the assets from the previous LLC and leave the debt that the is owed in the LLC that he fully controls and manages, without being taxed on this transaction?
