Under Florida law most creditors have one option in the pursuit of a debtor’s interest in a limited partnership of multiple member Limited Liability Company (LLC) and that is through the imposition of a charging order, which a lien ordered by the court on the distributions to its member.
The charging order is an exclusive remedy, and so the creditor cannot attach the assets of the corporation.
The operating agreement of the LLC if properly formulated may prevent the creditor from even obtaining such a charging order.
In the case of a sole member LLC, the creditor may directly force the sale of the assets of the LLC. A sole member LLC in the State of Florida has minimal asset protection value.
