Membership interest transfer LLC

Hi

I have an NJ state LLC corporation , of which I am a 20% partner and 80% is held by my colleague outside the united states. We have incorporated in Nj and have an operating agreement supporting the 20-80 partnership

Required :

1. I want to move my membership interest to my wife here .

2. I want to retain myself as a member to manage while I do not draw any salary

Questions :

We would perhaps require an addendum to the agreement
Do we also have to file with the secretary of state for change in ownership

Regards

Vineet

Your operating agreement should allow for transfer of interests --and changes in officers etc.--as long as you follow the procedures listed and usually all others must agree in writing.
