Voting Resolutions: Voting resolutions are used to make important decisions in the LLC. Voting resolutions require the approval of a certain number of members for the resolution to pass. Consent Resolutions: Consent resolutions are used when all members of the LLC agree to a certain action or decision.
Any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members must vote on it. Typically a majority of the members is needed to pass the resolution, but each LLC may have different voting rights. Some LLCs give a different value to each member's vote based on their percentage of interest in the company.
As a rule, a single-member LLC is considered a separate legal entity from its owner. This means that the owner's personal assets are shielded from any debts and liabilities incurred by your LLC.
As mentioned, any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members have to vote on it. The majority of LLC members must vote in favor of the resolution to pass it, but every LLC can have its own voting rules. For example, some LLCs may assign different values to different member votes.
Single-member LLCs do not need resolutions, but they can still come in handy in certain situations, like if the company must defend itself in court. Documenting changes or actions not covered in the original bylaws or articles of incorporation can help an LLC protect itself from lawsuits or judicial investigations.
Most business decisions, including day-to-day decisions, are made without resolutions or other documentation. With an SMLLC, you'd only use a resolution to document the most important business matters or actions such as: buying or selling real estate.
The law does not require an LLC Resolution to be notarized or witnessed by any third parties. In concept, there could be a requirement within a certain limited liability company which does require it – but that would be uncommon.

Typically, a single-member LLC is immediately dissolved when the sole member passes away, and the assets are distributed to their beneficiaries per their will or by state law. However, at startup, the operating agreement may be written to include a successor so the company can continue.
