Protecting assets from litigation is an essential aspect of managing assets. As your wealth ,grows, so does your exposure to legal risks such as malpractice, divorce, and inheritance disputes. Without putting proper asset protection measures in place your hard-earned wealth could be confiscated and your financial security jeopardized. This article provides insight into the importance of asset protection and outlines a comprehensive plan to minimize risk and maximize security.
Understanding potential threats to your assets is important. In today’s contentious society, lawsuits can come from multiple sources, including: Business partners, creditors, ex-spouse, heirs, etc. A family office can help you identify these potential risks and implement an asset protection plan.
There are several ways available in order to protect your assets. Following we mention a few possibilities:
Setting up a limited company: Separating your financial assets from your personal liabilities through a limited liability company can protect your personal assets from your business liabilities.
Trust:
Trusts are independent legal entities and as such provide another useful tool for protecting assets. Transferring property into a trust distances one from the assets while maintaining reasonable control.
Insurance:
Insurance is an important aspect of asset protection. Various types of insurance need to be considered, such as professional liability insurance, general liability insurance, and umbrella policies that can provide protection against legal claims.
