A Limited Liability Company is a form of business that combines elements of both corporate structure and partnerships. It owns property like a company in the name of the LLC. Generally, an LLC owns real property that generates profits such as apartments, shopping malls or businesses. The owners are called members and each owns a share in the profits. Purchasers of property owned by an LLC will require a Certificate that confirms the legal existence of the LLC and a Certificate that identifies the member who is authorized to sign deeds.

LLCs are treated differently under various state laws. Each member's interest in the LLC is considered to be personal property. States give creditors various rights. In some states a judgment creditor can step into the shoes of a member and take their share of the profits. Some states allow a forced sale of the LLC property to satisfy a debt.

Your state laws should be carefully reviewed to determine the rules that govern LLCs.
