I know the judgment does not attach directly to the real property. My recollection is that the creditor can obtain a charging order against the LLC and any distributions to the member would go to the judgment creditor. Can the judgment creditor execute against the personal property interest of the “ membership” thereby taking ownership of the LLC and the property it contains?
