A charging order is a remedy by which a judgment-creditor may collect against a member s interest in an LLC or a partner s interest in a partnership. With the increased popularity of LLCs charging orders are becoming more common and it is crucial that both planners and those seeking to collect on judgments understand what a charging order does and does not do. Likewise those seeking to resist a charging order need to understand how they may do so. Written by Jay Adkisson a nationally-recognized expert on charging orders with input from members of the LLCs Partnerships and Unincorporated Entities Committee of the Business Law Section of the American Bar Association The Charging Orders Practice Guide will help lawyers understand the complexities of this area of the law. Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) have become the predominant form of business entity created for American businesses now far surpassing annually the numbers of new corporations. Among the features that have made LLCs attractive is that membership interests in an LLC are not subject to the traditional remedies such as Writs of Levy that have long been available to the creditors of shareholders. Instead a creditor s recovery against the LLC interest of debtor is restricted to a heretofore little discussed remedy known as a charging order. Corresponding to the rise of LLCs creditor-debtor litigation involving LLC membership interests has likewise increased in volume. This has created a need for all concerned parties meaning creditors debtors non-debtor members the LLC and even potential third-party buyers of LLC interests at a foreclosure sale of charging orders to be able to come up-to-speed quickly on the subject of charging order. Thus the LLCs Partnerships and Unincorporated Entities Committee of the ABA s Business Law Section presents The Charging Orders Practice Guide to give readers a source of both the legal theory underlying charging orders and pragmatic suggestions as to how to deal with them from all viewpoints.
