# Summary

RSMo §347.119 governs what a judgment creditor of a Missouri LLC member can reach. On application, a court may charge the member's interest with payment of the unsatisfied judgment, which generally limits the creditor to the member's distributions rather than control of the company or its assets. This charging-order limit is a core reason LLCs are used in asset protection.

# Operative text

Paraphrased from the statute, verified against the official source: on application by a judgment creditor of a member, the court may charge the member's LLC interest with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment. Read the full section at the official source linked above.

# Decision rule

Because a member's creditor is generally limited to a charging order under §347.119, hold operating or investment assets in a properly maintained LLC so a personal judgment against one member does not reach the entity's assets; keep formalities and separateness intact.
