Are Your Assets Protected Properly?
Would you like some help?
First, know this...
Asset protection is necessary to protect your wealth in today’s litigious world.
There are over 80 million lawsuits alone in the United States each year. Over $200 Billion in frivolous lawsuits every year.
We found a lady that has sued over 700 people during her lifetime.
Here are a few fundamental tips to protect your assets before we dive into the “sly like a fox” strategies.
First, separate your safe and risk assets. Your safe assets like gold, silver, stocks, and investments (that do not cause liability) should be in one entity, typically an LLC.
Your business should be a separate legal entity.
For many of you, forming a second entity for your business may make sense to further reduce your risk.
A separate legal entity should hold real estate outside your residence.
If you are upside down in that real estate, you may want to speak to your CPA about the tax ramifications of transferring your property to the LLC (there may be a taxable even in that situation).
The living trust will be the owner of the LLCs and complete your estate planning.
Other entities may come into play as needed.
The name of the game in lawsuits is to determine how much is likely to be recovered if someone goes after you and receives a judgment.
If you have nothing or appear to have almost no assets, there is typically a lesser motivation to go after you.
Your goal is not to appear appealing for someone to go after. Let them go after someone else, like all those operating as sole proprietorships around you that have a lot of assets in their living trust that does not protect from liability, only probate.
Privacy is not illegal. It is generally oversold as a must to protect your assets, and that is not the case. It is an extra step that can be beneficial.
