The Nevada Supreme Court ruled in Weddell v. H2O, Inc., 128 Nev. Adv. Op. #9, (Nev. March 1, 2012) that a judgment creditor is like an assignee of a membership interest. The creditor is entitled to only the share of the distributions the member would otherwise have received. The managerial interest of the debtor remains with the debtor.

A charging order is the exclusive remedy with regard to a debtor’s membership interest in an LLC, even if a creditor has a security agreement signed by the debtor that assigns all right, title and interest in a membership interest in an LLC to the creditor. This does not mean that creditors can’t take steps to improve their position with respect to claims they have on an LLC membership interest.
