More and more people are using the legal system to deprive others of their life's work.
Business owners, professionals such as doctors, dentists, lawyers and accountants, and property owners in particular should be aware of the risks associated with conducting their business, practicing in their respective fields, and taking responsibility for others.
Without a change to our legal system, the risk and potential liability is not going to decline. Assets can be at risk due to a number of vulnerabilities, including:
-
Professional malpractice liability
-
Personal liability of corporate officers and directors
-
Lawsuits by former business partners
-
Personal injury suffered on your premises
-
Personal injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident
-
Liability as guarantor for the debts of another
-
Liability arising from misconduct
Asset Protection is not about giving in to fear. It is about empowering yourself in the face of it. The LegalJourney Law Firm works with clients to implement proven; legally sound strategies that will help preserve their wealth and safeguard their assets.
The LegalJourney Law Firm represents professionals, small business owners, property owners, and other clients with the goal of protecting their assets against potential litigation, judgments, liens, and fraud.
Insurance alone does not always adequately protect against all of these threats. Clients are helped to protect their wealth using a variety of strategies including the use of special trusts, business entities and other legal arrangements.
Shielding Assets from Creditors
Client’s finances, real property and other assets are arranged in a manner that minimizes their exposure to potential creditors. By establishing trusts, determining insurance needs, creating estate plans and organizing investments and business entities, clients are able to enjoy the highest level of confidence in terms of the security of their accumulated assets.
A creditor who initiates litigation against a person who has placed his or her assets into a trust, a foundation, or other entity may find that there are very few collectible assets actually owned by the person they wish to sue. Assets owned by a properly structured trust, foundation, or other entities are generally not subject to claims against their beneficiaries. In addition, placing assets into an asset protection entity may have the additional benefit of removing those assets from a person’s taxable estate.
The LegalJourney Law Firm will evaluate current client holdings and work with clients to identify the best ways to legally protect those holdings from a variety of creditors, whether through civil suits involving negligence or malpractice.
The exact strategies employed may vary depending on the client, the nature of the assets, the country of origin, and the tax regulations that apply to those assets.
