IS EVERYTHING YOU OWN AT RISK? WHY ASSET PROTECTION CAN’T WAIT
so hard to build, is suddenly taken from them. All their assets — business, home, investments — go to probate. The estate is starved of cash in the process, and spouses and children are left with nothing. It’s an awful outcome to witness, but there is something you can do to prevent it. Don’t wait to put asset protection in place. If you have something worth protecting, yesterday was the best time to do it, and today is the next best. I know you think it’s not going to happen to you. That’s what Bill thought, and it’s what so many others thought before they were hit with a lawsuit. If you’re a business owner, the question isn’t if , but when you’ll find yourself on either end of a lawsuit. At REIBLAW we understand this fundamental truth, and we work with clients to develop strategies for shielding their valuables from lawsuits. These protections are a combination of legal tools and financial plans designed to protect you and your hard-earned assets. While pre-planning is always best, there are some ways to protect yourself even after a lawsuit has been filed. Give us a call or send an email to get more information. We’re here to help you protect what’s yours.
Recently, I urged my client Bill* to put an asset protection plan in place. I’d been working with Bill on other legal aspects of his business and coaching him on how to take it to the next level. The next time he called me, though, it wasn’t to talk about IP or request a template; it was to tell me he’d been hit with a $20 million lawsuit.
He waited too long, and now his business is up for grabs.
