Here is what I have learned. Good Luck - I'm having the same problem and I expect it will be very expensive in legal fees. * corporate debt is knowingly incurred when the company is already insolvent; * required annual shareholders or board of directors meetings are not held, or other Corporate-Formalities are not observed; * corporate records, especially minutes of directors meetings, are not properly or adequately maintained; * shareholders remove unreasonable amounts of funds from the corporation, endangering its financial stability; * there is a pattern of consistent non-payment of dividends, or payment of excessive dividends; * there is a general commingling of corporate activity and/or funds and those of the person or persons who control the corporation; * there is a failure to maintain separate offices, the company has little or no other business and is only a facade for the activities of the dominant shareholder who is in fact, the corporate "alter ego."

When is the veil of incorporated be lifted?

You may be referring to the judicial practice of "piercing the corporate veil". One of the reasons for organizing and conducting commerce through a corporation is liability limitation, Thus, there has to be provision for when a corporation is organized in contemplation of the use of, or is used for, fraudulent or other unlawful purposes. There is a multiplicity of situations in which the corporate veil might be pierced. Corporations generally cannot be used as a "shield" behind which an individual can "hide" in order to do something that, when done by the individual without the purported involvement of the corporation, would be unlawful. Probably the primary situtation wherein a court might be persuaded to pierce the corporate veil is where the corporation has been too thinly capitalized than would be deemed as reasonably needed to conduct the commerce the nature of which is contemplated. In situations such as this, the shareholders or officers could therefore be held personally liable for the commercial conduct of the corporation.

What is the procedure for an executive for lifting a corporate veil?

Executives don't nessasarilarly have any corporate authority (authority to bind the corp). Officers of the corporation in pursuit of their duties to it do. Anything the executive does personnally, or signs for personally not as an officer of the corporation, doesn't have corporate protection...it is done indivdually. Anything the corporation does for itself has corporate protection.

What is Reverse piercing of corporate veil?

Reverse piercing the corporate veil is the act holding a shareholder personally liable for the debts of the corporation and then (when taking his assets as damages) reaching into the assets of other corporations to which he is a shareholder. Normally when a corporation takes on too much debt and the creditors want their money, it goes insolvent (bankrupt). However, if the corporate formalities have not been observed (there was commingling of personal and corporate funds, there was a failure to maintain the corporate records, etc.) and adhering to the limited liability rules of corporations would promote injustice, a creditor can "pierce the corporate veil" and reach past the limited liability into the personal assets of the shareholder(s). However, if the personal assets of the shareholders are mostly stock in other corporations that have also taken too much debt, this doesn't help much (because the stocks wouldn't be worth much on the market and dissolving those other corporations means their assets would be paid to creditors before they can be distributed to the shareholders). In that situation, the court can "reverse pierce the corporate veil" and take the assets of the other corporations, bypassing the line of creditors.
