Subject: Affidavit/Certification Question

Good morning,

I have a quick question regarding affidavits and certifications. Under the guidance of PNPM 209, I understand that for an LLC or partnership, an officer of the general partner should execute the affidavit and certification page. However, in our specific case, the ultimate parent (a limited partnership) would like an officer of the acquired entity (a corporation) to sign on its behalf.

  1. Is this okay?
  2. If so, should we check the 1(e) box, listing the acquired entity since it is technically filing on the ultimate parent’s behalf?
