New Urban Registry

Description

The place where the corporation may be served for legal or other important matters is called the “Registered Office” of the corporation. The ‘Records Address’ and ‘Registered Office’ constitute important information which must be registered with the Corporate Registry. Anyone wishing to commence a legal action against a corporation may do so by serving the appropriate documents on the corporation at its Registered Office. Corporate Change of Attorney Corporations which originate from outside Alberta are required to register in Alberta as an ‘Extra-Provincial’ corporation. The shareholders and directors of such corporation will probably NOT be located in Alberta. Indeed, the records of the corporation will probably be located outside Alberta in its home jurisdiction. The law requires that an attorney be appointed to represent such corporations in Alberta. The attorney need not be a lawyer, but rather someone authorized to accept service in Alberta on behalf of the corporation. The attorney will designate an address for service or ‘Registered Office’ for the corporation in Alberta.

The directors are the operating minds of the corporation. They manage its affairs. As such, they are generally not personally responsible for the fortunes of the corporation. However, they cannot simply use the corporation as a vehicle to escape personal responsibility. The directors may be personally responsible for certain shortcomings of the corporation which ought to have been properly managed, such as payment of GST, withholding of employee taxes, and certain other obligations. Directors can also be personally responsible for actions that they should not have allowed the corporation to do. If they do so under the guise of the corporation, they may be personally liable. Accordingly, it is important to know who the directors are from time to time to determine who was responsible for the actions of the corporation. This information is required to be filed in the Corporate Registry. You may file a ‘Notice of Change of Directors’ at New Urban Registry. The forms required to be filed are available from our website. Corporate Change of Shareholders The shareholders are the owners of the corporation. A corporation may be owned by one or more shareholder.
