Winding up.
A dissolved limited liability company shall wind up its activities and affairs, and, except as otherwise provided in § 29-807.06, shall continue after dissolution only for the purpose of winding up. In winding up its activities and affairs, a limited liability company: Shall: Discharge the company’s debts, obligations, or other liabilities, settle and close the company’s activities and affairs, and marshal and distribute the assets of the company; and Deliver to the Mayor for filing a statement of dissolution stating the name of the company and that the company is dissolved; and May: Preserve the company activities and affairs and property as a going concern for a reasonable time; Prosecute and defend actions and proceedings, whether civil, criminal, or administrative; Transfer the company’s property; Settle disputes by mediation or arbitration; Deliver to the Mayor for filing a statement of termination stating the name of the company and that the company is terminated; and Perform other acts necessary or appropriate to the winding up. If a dissolved limited liability company has no members, the legal representative of the last person to have been a member may wind up the activities and affairs of the company. If the person does so, the person shall have the powers of a sole manager under § 29-804.07(c) and shall be deemed to be a manager for the purposes of § 29-803.04(a)(2). If the legal representative under subsection (c) of this section declines or fails to wind up the company’s activities and affairs, a person may be appointed to do so by the consent of transferees owning a majority of the rights to receive distributions as transferees at the time the consent is to be effective.
