David and Veronica Allen bought land in Independence, Missouri, during 1994 for $22,000. In January 1998, they listed it for sale with a broker, Chuck Zuvers, asking $88,000. The property remained on the market until May 1999, when Thomas C. Scott contracted to buy it for $90,000. Scott signed the sales contract as "Thomas C. Scott, or assigns" because he was organizing Scott, Hewitt & Mize as a

limited liability company and wanted the land deeded to the firm. At closing, and following Scott's instruction, the Allens deeded the property to "Scott, Hewitt & Mize, LLC." Although Scott and his partners had filed articles of organization for Scott, Hewitt & Mize with the Secretary of State before closing, the Secretary of State rejected the articles because of errors contained in them. Scott corrected the errors, and the Secretary of State issued a certificate of organization to Scott, Hewitt & Mize nine days after closing. ?The contract between the Allens and Thomas C. Scott: A)?Is invalid because the LLC was not formed. B)?Is valid because the contract is with "Thomas C. Scott or assigns". C)?Is invalid because Thomas C.
