| Effective asset protection
involves constant consciousness and common sense perhaps more than
sophisticated strategies. Asset protection begins with free and simple
practices like not giving retail store clerks personal information
after every $2.00 purchase, and extends to utilizing complicated and
expensive offshore asset protection trusts.
Asset protection can be accomplished through maintaining privacy,
insurance, separate legal entities, careful titling of property,
effective use of trusts, marital agreements, avoiding fraudulent
asset protection schemes, bankruptcy, credit management, and understanding
the risks and tax ramifications of offshore strategies. As persons
accumulate assets they become targets of those who are adept at
looting assets through devices ranging from frivolous lawsuits to
theft. If you have accumulated assets to the extent that asset protection
is an issue, or if you are at risk because of activities in which
you participate, a consultation may help you assess your risks and
consider appropriate protection measures. Click on the “Books
