Asset Protection StrategyMany people form LLCs for asset protection. The biggest misunderstanding is that this just protects everything. The biggest problem is who is protecting the LLC from the members? You (The members,) are the ones out there driving around each day, causing accidents, having personal debt and credit cards, and getting divorces. So you have a LLC that has assets in it, and you have personal problems, in most States the court can get to your membership interests and you can lose everything.So the biggest problem in LLC asset protection is that most States don’t protect the LLC from the members. The Wyoming LLC protects the LLC from the members. Right now, Wyoming has the best laws for this. In Wyoming the “Exclusive remedy” is a charging order of the members’ interest. But this does not give the creditor the ability to dissolve, run, or demand a distribution of profits. Thus keeping the members ability to keep the LLC up and running as well as the assets staying put in the LLC. The fact that Wyoming puts the words “Exclusive” in its laws is what separates the Wyoming LLC from other popular States like Nevada, Delaware, New Mexico, and Florida.
