LLC liability for prior (sole proprietorship) product
<p>Say that I start selling a digital product while operating as a sole proprietorship. I later go through the process to form an LLC, and then continue to sell the product under the name of my LLC.</p>

<p>Does the LLC now assume all liability for past and future sales of the product? For example, say that John purchased my product while I was still selling as a sole proprietorship, but decides to sue me sometime after I form the LLC. Would I be personally liable, or would the LLC be liable?</p>

<p>Under most circumstance, you would continue to be liable for pre-LLC obligations. You can't escape existing liability by changing the form of your business. </p>
