Adds new term special economic interest owner (a person who owns an economic interest and has rights to information and to seek dissolution but is not a member) to GS 57D-1-03 (definitions under the NC LLC Act). Modifies terms economic interest owner and interest owner to include special economic interest owners. Instructs that, when an individual ceases to be an LLC member under GS 57D-3-02 because of their death or adjudication of incompetence, the member's estate or the member through the member's designated agent or court-appointed guardian will automatically become a special economic interest owner entitled to (1) the economic interest attributable to the member's ownership interest, (2) the member's information rights as described in GS 57D-3-04, and (3) the member's standing to seek judicial dissolution under GS 57D-6-02(2) or under an alternative remedy, if applicable, in the operating agreement. Makes organizational changes. Applies to requests for information and actions for dissolution commenced on or after October 1, 2025.
