Resident agent: Resignation; designation of successor after death, resignation or movement from State.
1. A resident agent who desires to resign shall:
(a) File with the Secretary of State a signed statement in the manner provided pursuant to subsection 1 of NRS 78.097 that he is unwilling to continue to act as the resident agent of the limited-liability company for the service of process; and
(b) Pay to the Secretary of State the filing fee set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 78.097.
Ê A resignation is not effective until the signed statement is filed with the Secretary of State.
2. The statement of resignation may contain a statement of the affected limited-liability company appointing a successor resident agent for that limited-liability company, giving the agent’s full name, street address for the service of process, and mailing address if different from the street address. A certificate of acceptance signed by the new resident agent must accompany the statement appointing a successor resident agent.
3. Upon the filing of the statement of resignation with the Secretary of State, the capacity of the resigning person as resident agent terminates. If the statement of resignation contains no statement by the limited-liability company appointing a successor resident agent, the resigning agent shall immediately give written notice, by mail, to the limited-liability company of the filing of the statement and its effect. The notice must be addressed to any manager or, if none, to any member of the limited-liability company other than the resident agent.
4. If a resident agent dies, resigns or moves from the State, the limited-liability company, within 30 days thereafter, shall file with the Secretary of State a certificate of acceptance signed by the new resident agent. The certificate must set forth the name, complete street address and mailing address, if different from the street address, of the new resident agent.
5. Each limited-liability company which fails to file a certificate of acceptance signed by the new resident agent within 30 days after the death, resignation or removal of its resident agent as provided in subsection 4 shall be deemed in default and is subject to the provisions of NRS 86.272 and 86.274.
