I have question on Liability. I have set up a LLC Chase Business Checking Account. In order to receive perks/waived fees and convenience, I linked the LLC Business Checking account to my personal Chase bank accounts. If I get sued, will my personal bank a account be liable now since they are linked? Or is the linking just for viewing and ease of use of both accounts?
