One of the many advantages of owning a limited liability company, or a LLC, is it limits
the exposure to the members of the LLC. If one of the members gets a judgement against
him because they're having financial trouble and not able to pay their bills, then the
creditor that takes the judgement against him, can only establish a charging lien against
the membership interest of that member. What that means is if the entity makes any distributions
whatsoever, then all that creditor gets is the distributions made by the LLC. What usually
happens is that the members decide not to make any distributions so the creditor gets
nothing. The benefit to the other members is it cannot affect the corporation and it
cannot affect the other members.
