Asset Protection Strategies
No one expects to be sued, yet over 20 million people faced lawsuits last year alone. Divorce, inheritance disputes, health issues, creditors, employee matters, theft, market changes, malpractice suits, sexual harassment claims, natural disasters, and conflicts with business partners can all lead to devastating lawsuits for unprepared business owners. The highest risk often falls on those who believe they are immune.
In today's world, Americans are more concerned than ever about safeguarding their assets from creditor claims, taxes, divorce, and other potential disasters. This concern is justified, especially as your success in business, professional practice, or real estate activities grows, increasing your visibility and risk.
Consider the following risky behaviors you may already be engaging in:
Signing loan documents, personal guarantees, or leases Owning rental properties or managing employees Practicing as an attorney or physician Working in construction or performing professional services Getting married with children from a prior marriage or bringing separate property assets into the marriage
