A debit order allows a creditor to collect distributions from a partnership where the debtor is a member, without interfering in the management of the business. It protects non-debtor partners from seizure of all company assets. The order establishes four key points, including a lien on assets without the right to sell them, limited to the monetary amount of the judgment. In some states, creditors may pursue single-member limited liability companies with a foreclosure.
A debit order is a court-ordered authorization for a creditor who has been sentenced against a debtor to seize or collect distributions from a partnership, of which the debtor is a member or partner. US statutes governing the operation of a charge order include the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of 2001, the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act of 1996, the Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1994, with the Charging Orders Act of 1979 as corresponding statute in the United States. Kingdom. The debit order was established to protect non-debtor partners from seizure of all company assets and from interference in commercial affairs. Similar to a foreclosure, a debit order only assigns or transfers distributable assets owed to a debtor to a creditor. A legal creditor may not assume management, engage in business, vote on business decisions, or interfere in any way with the management of the business.
Historically, before the charging order was instituted, courts viewed a partnership as a single unit. A creditor who won a judgment against a partner was able to seize the entire company’s assets. The non-debtor partners suffered economic losses equal to or even greater than those of the debtor partner. Non-debtor partners have begun to appeal to the courts for legal protection of their rights against the liabilities of their debtor partners.
Often seen as an asset protection tool, the debit order establishes four key points. First, the debit order gives a right to debt or a lien on the non-debtor partner’s assets without the right to sell the assets, with the order limited to the monetary amount of the judgment. Secondly, the obligee cannot pursue other legal remedies other than the debit order and foreclosure on the order. Third, the obligee is an assignee, not an owner, and therefore has no control or voting rights. Finally, if a foreclosure occurs, where the equitable right to repurchase the assets is legally extinguished, the buyer of the foreclosed property receives only the same rights as the creditor.
In some states, creditors may pursue single-member limited liability companies, in which the debtor is the sole partner, with either a debit order and, subsequently, with an attachment of all of the company’s assets in a foreclosure. The obligee partner could otherwise simply withhold all distributions and the obligee would have no other recourse. The courts allow foreclosure in these circumstances as there are no other partners with rights to preserve in the photo. The whole company can be forced to liquidate and satisfy the judgment with the money received.
