• 01.08.2017

Parlamentul Republicii Moldova a adoptat modificări și completări la Legea privind societățile cu răspundere limitată, în secțiunea privind dobândirea calității de asociat în baza succesiunii. Dintre cele mai importante modificări, menționăm următoarele: 

• La dobândirea prin succesiune a unei părți sociale în cadrul unei societăți cu răspundere limitată, succesorul devine asociat de drept, cu excepția cazului în care actul de constituire prevede că dobândirea acestei calități este condiționată de acordul asociaților;
• Dacă - potrivit actului de constituire - dobândirea calității de asociat prin succesiune este subordonată acordului asociaților, iar aceștia refuză succesiunea, orice asociat sau societatea are obligația de a dobândi partea socialș a succesorului în condțiile prevăzute de lege;
• Succesorul este în drept să solicite înregistrarea de stat a dreptului său asupra părții sociale dobândite prin succesiune dacă în termen de trei luni de la data prezentării actului confirmativ nici unul dintre asociați, și nici societatea, nu a dobândit partea socială respectivă;
• Partea socială se consideră de drept a dobânditorului prin succesiune din momentul înregistrării acestui fapt în Registrul de stat al persoanelor juridice, fără a fi necesară modificarea actului de constituire al societății.
