WY + NV · inside liability protection
Form a Charging Order Protection LLC. Wyoming or Nevada.
A charging order is the exclusive remedy a personal creditor of an LLC member has against the member's LLC interest. The creditor cannot force a distribution, cannot vote, cannot remove the member. They can only collect if and when the LLC distributes. Strong charging order states (Wyoming, Nevada) provide this as the SOLE remedy, even for single-member LLCs. Combined with proper structure, very strong inside-liability protection.
How it works
How we handle Charging Order Protection LLC, end-to-end.
A charging order is the exclusive remedy a personal creditor of an LLC member has against the member's LLC interest.
1
State selection
Wyoming: strongest statute, anonymous LLC option, low cost. Nevada: strong statute, established case law. Other states (FL, DE) have weaker charging-order statutes especially for single-member LLCs.
2
LLC formation
File Articles of Organization with WY or NV SOS. Operating agreement drafted with charging order protection in mind: clear member rights, transfer restrictions, distribution standards.
3
Foreign qualification (if needed)
If the LLC operates outside WY/NV, file foreign qualification in operating state. Need to balance: WY/NV protection requires WY/NV situs, but operations elsewhere require foreign qualification. We model trade-offs.
4
Asset transfer + ongoing
Transfer assets to the LLC. Operate properly: separate bank account, proper accounting, observance of formalities. Sloppy operations can pierce the protection.

Get started FAQ
About the Charging Order Protection LLC Service.
What is a charging order?
A court order assigning a creditor the right to receive distributions from an LLC interest. The creditor takes the distributions if and when they happen but cannot force the LLC to distribute, cannot vote the interest, and cannot remove the member.
Why is charging order exclusivity important?
In states where charging order is the EXCLUSIVE remedy (WY, NV), creditors are stuck waiting for distributions that may never come. They cannot foreclose on the interest or force the LLC to do anything. In states without exclusivity, creditors can pursue stronger remedies.
Does it protect single-member LLCs?
WY and NV: yes. Some other states (FL especially) have ruled that single-member LLCs lose charging-order exclusivity because there are no other members to protect. Critical to form in a state that protects single-member structures.
What is the Wyoming anonymous LLC?
Wyoming does not require owner disclosure on Articles of Organization. The LLC can be formed using a registered agent's address and a generic 'Manager' designation. Owner identity is private (except for BOI reporting to FinCEN, which is federal).
What if I operate the LLC in California?
You will need to foreign-qualify in CA. CA imposes its own franchise tax ($800 minimum) on foreign LLCs. CA's charging-order protection is weaker than WY/NV. You preserve WY/NV protection in the WY/NV structure but operations are subject to CA law.
How does this fit with a DAPT?
Common structure: DAPT in a strong state (NV, SD) owns a WY/NV LLC, which holds operating assets. Two layers of asset protection. The LLC provides charging-order protection; the DAPT provides spendthrift protection.
