A. Property transferred to or otherwise acquired by a limited liability company is property of the limited liability company and not of the members. A member has no interest in an item of limited liability company property.

B. Property acquired or owned by the limited liability company shall be acquired, held and conveyed in the name of the limited liability company. A limited liability company may acquire any estate in real or personal property in the name of the limited liability company, and title to any estate so acquired shall vest in the limited liability company rather than in the members.

C. Property may be owned by a limited liability company, even though the property is not acquired or held in its name.

D. Subject to Subsection G of this section, property is presumed to be owned by the limited liability company if it is acquired in the name of the limited liability company.

E. Subject to Subsection G of this section, property is presumed to be owned by the limited liability company if it is purchased with funds of the limited liability company, even if it is acquired in the name of a member or other person.

F. Subject to Subsection G of this section, property is presumed to be the property of one or more members or other persons if it is acquired in the names of such persons without use of funds of the limited liability company, even though the property is used for purposes of the business of the limited liability company.

G. Real property and other property held of public record otherwise than in the name of the limited liability company, the ownership of which is customarily publicly recorded, shall not be deemed to be owned by the limited liability company to the prejudice of a person who did not have actual knowledge of the limited liability company's ownership.
