<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this a correct understanding of the mechanics if:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Child owns small interest that he received from parents in a couple of LLC’s.</div>
<div>Child has a host of creditors.</div>
<div>Child creates an irrevocable trust with 3<font size="1"><span style="font-size:7.3pt;"><sup>rd</sup></span></font> party trustee, retaining the right to receive income and transfers his interest in the LLCs to the trustee.</div>
<div>Creditors obtain judgment against child.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Trust would not protect corpus from child’s creditors (RCW 19.36.020). Is it correct, therefore, that Creditors could garnish the trust account – but have no ability to obtain a charging order against the LLC (since interests owned by the trust)?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your thoughts.</div>
<div> </div>
