Question

LLC - one member to leave - what to do with owners equity?

We have a 4 member LLC - each person owning 25%. We have been putting money into the business on a regular basis to cover expenses. Each person's deposit has been added to an individual owner's equity category/account ("Owner's Name - Owner's Equity"). Now, one of the owners is leaving the LLC and will not be replaced. What do I do with the owner that is leaving? No one has taken money out of the LLC (no draw).

Do you have a buyout agreement?  What are the terms?  Did the LLC or the other members buyout the departing member?

The owner agreed to leave without being paid. She's just going to withdraw from the LLC.
