Webb & Carey, P.C. v. Keenan - Using A Charging Order and Receiver to Take Control of the Debtor's business in California
Collecting a judgment is tough enough, but what if you find the debtor has an interest in a partnership or LLC. Even if that entity is not your judgement debtor and can't be directly levied, you can use a motion procedure to obtain a Charging Order against the debtor's interest in the partnership or LLC. The Webb & Carey decision recognizes that a receiver may then be appointed with authority to control and direct the debtor's interest in the partnership. Distributions can be made and then captured by the assignment order. The only trick is that your debtor's interest in the partnership or LLC must be a controlling one.
