Some view asset protection planning with a skeptical eye. \u00a0They believe there is a moral <\/span>obligation to pay one\u2019s debts.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0They think that asset protection planning is immoral because it <\/span>prevents a creditor from collecting on a judgment entered by a court. <\/span>\u00a0\"business-man-hiding-money-jacket-pocket-corruption-fraud-concept-68721573\"<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The truth is the U.S. justice system is unpredictable. \u00a0Defendants are faced with ever-expanding <\/span>
\ntheories of liability, being sued just because they appear to have \u201cdeep pockets,\u201d and judgments <\/span>
\nentered against them based on desired outcomes instead of the law. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What, then, can you do that will\u00a0<\/span>ethically<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>legally<\/span>\u00a0protect your hard-earned assets from <\/span>creditors, predators, and lawsuits? <\/span> What Asset Protection Planning Is, and What it Is Not<\/span> The first step in protecting your assets is to understand that planning to preserve and secure your <\/span>property in advance of a claim, or the threat of a claim, is a legitimate form of wealth planning. <\/span>The goals of asset protection planning are to: <\/span> \uf0b7\u00a0<\/span>Provide your creditor with an incentive for settling a claim; <\/span>\uf0b7\u00a0<\/span>Improve your bargaining position; <\/span>\uf0b7\u00a0<\/span>Offer you options when a claim is asserted; and <\/span>\uf0b7\u00a0<\/span>Ultimately, deter your creditor from filing that lawsuit. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On the other hand, asset protection planning is\u00a0<\/span>not<\/span>\u00a0about avoiding taxes, keeping secrets, hiding <\/span>assets, or defrauding creditors. \u00a0In addition, it will not be effective to shield your property from <\/span>an existing claim, and it must be done long before there is even the hint of a claim. \u00a0 <\/span> When Done Right, Asset Protection Planning is Completely Legal and Ethical<\/span> Using all legal tools available to help clients protect their hard-earned assets from future claims <\/span>is consistent with the rules of professional conduct that govern the actions of attorneys. \u00a0In fact, <\/span>these rules require attorneys to pursue representation of their clients with diligence and <\/span>advocacy. \u00a0What these rules do not allow, however, is assisting or counseling a client in <\/span>fraudulent or criminal conduct. \u00a0Therefore, you must be wary of an attorney who offers to assist <\/span>you in protecting your property after a lawsuit has already been threatened or filed. \u00a0This type of <\/span>conduct is\u00a0<\/span>not<\/span>\u00a0ethical or legal. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Final Truth About Asset Protection Planning<\/span> While you may drive carefully and steer clear of barroom brawls, unfortunately you cannot avoid <\/span>all activities that create liability. \u00a0Putting together a plan to preserve and protect your assets in <\/span>advance of a claim is a completely acceptable and, more importantly,\u00a0<\/span>legal<\/span>\u00a0form of wealth <\/span>planning. <\/span> We are experienced at helping clients design and implement asset protection plans that are <\/span>custom-<\/span>tailored to each client\u2019s family situation and f<\/span>inancial status. \u00a0Please call us if you have <\/span>any questions about this type of planning and to get started on protecting your assets from future <\/span>creditors, predators, and lawsuits. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
