Courts in many states have not fully tested or upheld the liability protections of Series LLCs, and some jurisdictions do not recognize them at all.Key Issues with a Series LLC for Rental Properties:š« Not universally recognized ā Some states do not respect the liability separation between series, making enforcement uncertain.š« Piercing the veil risk ā If formalities arenāt followed precisely, a court could collapse the series into one entity.š« āCommon enterpriseā concerns ā If a single management LLC collects rent, signs leases, and maintains properties for all series, a court could argue thereās a shared enterprise, which might allow a plaintiff to target all series under one lawsuit.Better Alternative for Asset ProtectionA stronger structure that provides better legal separation and lawsuit protection is:1ļøā£ Each property in a separate traditional LLC ā This ensures clear separation and prevents legal issues with the Series LLCās untested structure.2ļøā£ Asset Management Limited Partnership (AMLP) ā The LLCs should be owned by an AMLP, which acts as a liability firewall against creditors and judgments.3ļøā£ A Bridge TrustĀ® for maximum protection ā If a major lawsuit occurs, the AMLP can be held by a Bridge TrustĀ®, allowing assets to move offshore if needed.4ļøā£ An operating LLC to handle management ā Keeping rent collection and property management separate from ownership limits liability exposure.Why This Works Better:ā Legally tested ā Traditional LLCs have clear case law backing their liability protections.ā No ācommon enterpriseā risk ā Since the AMLP, LLCs, and operating entity are legally distinct, itās harder for a court to collapse them into one entity.ā Protection beyond LLCs ā If a major lawsuit occurs, the Bridge TrustĀ® moves ownership offshore, making it extremely difficult for creditors to seize assets.Final Takeaway:A Series LLC has too many uncertainties for serious asset protection.
