Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f) of this section, a charging order constitutes a lien on a judgment debtor’s transferable interest and requires the limited liability company to pay over to the person to which the charging order was issued any distribution that otherwise would be paid to the judgment debtor.
(b) To the extent necessary to effectuate the collection of distributions pursuant to a charging order in effect under subsection (a) of this section, the court may:
(1) Appoint a receiver of the distributions subject to the charging order, with the power to make all inquiries the judgment debtor might have made; and
(2) Make all other orders necessary to give effect to the charging order.

(c) Upon a showing that distributions under a charging order will not pay the judgment debt within a reasonable time, the court may foreclose the lien and order the sale of the transferable interest.

(e) At any time before foreclosure under subsection (c) of this section, a limited liability company or one (1) or more members whose transferable interests are not subject to the charging order may pay to the judgment creditor the full amount due under the judgment and thereby succeed to the rights of the judgment creditor, including the charging order.
(f) If a court orders foreclosure of a charging order lien against the sole member of a limited liability company:
(1) The court shall confirm the sale;
(2) The purchaser at the sale obtains the member’s entire interest, not only the member’s transferable interest;
(3) The purchaser thereby becomes a member; and
(4) The person whose interest was subject to the foreclosed charging order is dissociated as a member.
