A creditor of a member of the LLC cannot take interest from the LLC or assets from the LLC. In North Carolina, a creditor is merely entitled to obtain a charging order against the LLC. Thus, if any distributions are made by the LLC to a member (whose creditor holds a charging order), the creditor would be entitled to those distributions until the judgment is paid in full. The same holds true for creditors who hold charging orders against the LLC itself. The charging order does not entitled creditors to become a member of the LLC. Therefore, the important component in this situation is that the LLC’s members or managers have authority and discretion regarding the issuance of distributions to its members.
