Should I have a Domestic Asset Protection Plan?

The best structure for a domestic asset protection plan is generally to use liability protected entities in combination with domestic asset protection trust. I like to think of it as a modular plan, where you have the domestic asset protection trust, of which the client is the beneficiary, and the domestic asset protection trust then owns the member, or partner, interest in the liability protected entity.

We help people preserve, protect and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.

What is a Domestic Asset Protection Plan?

Domestic asset protection plan is one that is centered either locally here in California or on a national basis within the United States and it constitutes, uh, using liability protected entities and domestic asset protection trust. Not all states have these, the same laws pertaining to the entity protection and the asset protection trust and so you need to make sure that when you set up a domestic asset protection plan it's done in the right venue in the right way with the proper structure.

Should I consider offshore asset protection?

An individual should consider an offshore asset protection plan when they have a substantial amount of liquid assets that can be placed offshore. And the reason you want to consider going offshore is because it gives you a safe haven that is protected against the jurisdiction of the Unites States courts. There are more favorable laws offshore also, with respect to how a lawsuit is treated and how creditors are treated who try to get to your assets.

Why do I need to worry about protecting my assets?

You need to worry about protecting and preserving your assets because we live in a predatory climate. There are creditors now who are attempting to sue and get into the deep pocket of people who are business owners, or professionals, or who own real estate assets. We're in a victim oriented society where people think that they need to be compensated for anything bad that might happen. Therefore, in this situation because of the proliferation of lawsuits, the victim oriented society and the notoriety that some of these cases are given, you need to protect your assets.

We help people preserve, protect and transfer their legacy to the next generation in the most cost saving and efficient manner possible.
