Corporate bylaws. The internal rulebook.

Bylaws are the internal rules of a corporation: how the board meets, how officers are elected, how shareholders vote, how directors are indemnified, how the bylaws themselves can be amended. State law sets defaults; bylaws customize. Required for all corporations and most nonprofits. We generate state-specific bylaws aligned with your articles of incorporation.

How it works

How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.

A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.

1

Eligibility review

Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.

2

Land trust selection

Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.

3

Engineering + appraisal

Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.

4

Legal documentation + closing

Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.

FAQ

About the Conservation Easement Service.

Are bylaws filed with the state?
No. Bylaws are INTERNAL to the corporation. Only the Certificate of Incorporation (or Articles) is filed publicly. Bylaws are signed by the board and kept in the corporate book.
Can I amend my bylaws later?
Yes, per the amendment procedure in the bylaws themselves. Typically the board can amend most provisions; shareholders can amend voting provisions and protective provisions. Set the right balance at adoption.
Do I need bylaws if I have a single shareholder?
Yes - corporations are required to have bylaws regardless of shareholder count. Single-shareholder corps still need bylaws to authorize officer actions and bank account signing.
What if my bylaws conflict with state law?
Bylaws cannot override mandatory state law (e.g., basic shareholder voting rights). Where state law is DEFAULT (e.g., quorum requirements), bylaws can vary. We draft compliant.
Are bylaws different from operating agreement?
Yes. Operating agreement is for LLCs. Bylaws are for corporations. They serve similar purposes (governance) but use different legal structures.
Should the founders sign the bylaws?
The board adopts them by consent. Founders sign as initial directors/incorporators. Subsequent shareholders are bound automatically by acquiring shares.
