Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, the operating agreement you filed with the state when you formed the company should contain an article that spells out your procedure for transferring one member's interest to another or to outside parties. The "normal" procedure is that your fiance would make a written offer to sell her interest to you at a price determined by mutual agreement. When the sale was executed, your LLC would have one member-manager instead of two. Hope this helps.

Finally, a question I can answer that doesn't deal with credit cards! I was in the same boat, in the same state. I created a GA LLC in late 2006. I was listed as the Registered Agent, and my partner and I were both listed as Organizers. By early 2007, my partner was out of the picture. I was confused about what to do w/ the LLC, and so I froze and did nothing (other than run the business) until early 2008. By then, I was sure I'd need to dissolve the LLC and create a new one. I called the GA Secretary of State's office, and I was told my LLC would be fine, once I paid the fee for 2007 and 2008. Since my partner was only listed as an organizer, the fact that his name was on the paperwork didn't matter to the State. I paid the fee, and I'm in good standing again according to the State.

Hopefully, your situation will be just as simple. I suggest you call the State and ask them to be sure. And if you ever need to accept credit cars, please call me.
