Nevada's charging order protection under NRS 86.401 is among the strongest in the nation. A personal creditor of an LLC member can only obtain a 'charging order' against the member's LLC interest — they cannot seize the LLC's assets or become a member. This means a judgment creditor is limited to receiving distributions if and when the LLC makes them, without the right to force distributions. A Summerlin business attorney can structure your LLC to maximize asset protection.
