A charging order is a court directive that directs a debtor’s LLC or partnership distributions to be paid to a judgment creditor until the debt is satisfied. It does not automatically transfer ownership; it restricts distributions to the debtor and may require further steps to collect.
Key elements include identifying the debtor’s interest in the entity, initiating a legal proceeding, obtaining the charging order, and managing distributions to balance creditor remedies with the needs of the business. Our team guides you through filing, hearings, and any necessary enforcement steps while staying compliant with California law.
