TOP LLC MISTAKES TO AVOID IN EVERYDAY BUSINESS PRACTICES
Sections 3 and 4 are related liability topics. Section 3 “Charging Orders” topic focuses on a judgment lien against a member, to the extent that the operating agreement provides that the member’s debt cannot be satisfied from the member’s interest in the limited liability company (LLC). The judgment creditor will have to satisfy themselves with a charging order which limits the creditor to any distribution made by the LLC to that member or the foreclosure of the charging order to reach the member debtor’s assignable company interest.
Section 4 “LLC Veil Piercing” focuses on a judgment lien against the LLC. The LLC’s property is seized or sold in payment (same as a corporation) with the result that the judgment is not fully satisfied. In this case, the judgment creditor forces collection against the LLC members personally by piercing the LLC veil to obtain personal liability of the members to satisfy the judgment.
