Why You Need Protection
Asset Plrotection is most frequently undertaken to ensure that personal assets stay in your possession until you are ready to pass them on to an heir. A well-crafted Asset Protection plan also provides these additional benefits:
- Discourages lawsuits by demonstrating that personal assets cannot be legally seized. If assets can't be legally seized, a plaintiff will likely avoid the unnecessary expense of pursuing a case or collection effort that they can't win. By preventing one lawsuit you could easily pay for the lifetime cost of creating and managing an Asset Protection plan.
- Settle lawsuits faster because a potential plaintiff becomes convinced that your protective measures are impermeable, enabling you negotiate from a position of strength to achieve a fast, inexpensive settlement and avoid a potentially long, time consuming and costly court battle for all parties.
- Reduce insurance costs by enabling you to distribute liability coverage over several layers of protection. Asset Protection practices are not a substitute for insurance—but they can provide insulation for high-risk professionals and business owners and reduce the level of traditional coverage carried.
- Improve financial planning by reducing estate taxes, improve your estate plan, and possibly even grow your investments. Asset Protection is an essential component to any financial plan.
- Judgment-proofing your assets to protect you in the event that you do lose a legal challenge through the use of legal tactics that shield select assets even from a court order.
