Only an asset of a series limited liability company may be an associated asset of the company. (2)(a) An asset of a protected series of a series limited liability company is an associated asset of the protected series only if the protected series creates and maintains records that state the name of the protected series and describe the asset with sufficient specificity to permit a disinterested, reasonable individual to:1. Identify the asset and distinguish it from any other asset of the protected series, any asset of the series limited liability company, and any asset of any other protected series of the company; 2. Determine when and from which person the protected series acquired the asset or how the asset otherwise became an asset of the protected series; and 3. If the protected series acquired the asset from the series limited liability company or another protected series of the company, determine any consideration paid, the payor, and the payee. (b) A deed or other instrument granting an interest in real property to or from one or more protected series of a series limited liability company, or any other instrument otherwise affecting an interest in real property held by one or more protected series of a series limited liability company, in each case to the extent such deed or other instrument is in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge of the lack of authority of the person signing and delivering a deed or other instrument and is recorded in the office for recording transfers or other matters affecting real property, is conclusive of the authority of the person signing and constitutes a record that such interest in real property is an associated asset or liability, as applicable, of the protected series.
