Best Answer

A LLC is considered one of your assets. The LLC protects you from liabilities it assumes, but it doesn't protect the LLC from your liabilities. Therefore, if you declare bankruptcy, you could possibly lose your share of an LLC. At best, it would be difficult for you to get credit for the LLC, since the individual generally has to secure credit for the LLC.

If a person is filing bankruptcy and is a managing partner of an LLC can the LLC continue?

An LLC is a separate legal entity, so it is not directly affected by a bankruptcy filing by one of the owners. The bankruptcy filer must disclose the share of the ownership and its value, if one can be established, and if the value cannot be exempted, the share may become part of the bankrupt's estate and sold by the trustee. The remaining owner(s) may want to negotiate and buy the share, but generally the sale has to be by an auction, unless the trustee is satisfied no one would bid at an auction, or would bid very much.It depends a lot on how well the LLC is operating and if it is making a profit to share among the owners. Small LLCs often have no value beyond the assets owned by it. Many LLC owners like to have the LLC buy vehicles they use as personal vehicles, which can cause serious problems for a bankrupt co-owner.The more the LLC functions as a truly separate legal operating business, the better. The more commingled personal and business assets are, the worse it is.


Can you delay a judgment against a personal guarantee by threatening to file bankruptcy in the name of an LLC?

No.. Not unless the LLC is the debtor. Whatever issues the llc has, are at that moment; of no concern to the guaranteed Creditors. They have no personal guarantee from the LLC. There is no Direct responsibility for the Guarantee from the llc. However, the Creditor can seek the assets of the Personal guarantor, including the assets held in the LLC to the extent that they are owned or controlled by the personal guarantor [borrower] 50% ownership would = 50% crossover from the personal guarantor's % of ownership. It might delay enforcement until it can be made clear to the court and relief from stay is awarded. But It will not normally delay the judgment in the prior matter. Get a consultation with a Specialist in this area of law. The comments here are based upon my lay interpretations and is not to be construed as legal advice.
