LLCS–VALUATION OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES

The Tennessee Court of Appeals held that, in the context of Tenn. Code Ann. § 48-249-505-506, (1) “fair value” is determined by the member’s proportionate interest in the company as a going concern, and is distinguished from “fair market value”, which consists of the price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller; (2) discounts for lack of control and marketability are not necessary for appraising a membership interest; and (3) tax affecting is relevant in assisting the court’s determination of the fair value of the going concern value of an S corporation.
