Asset Protection: Irrevocable Trust Asset Protection Planning IS Critical
With the deteriorating economy, many people that have wealth are looking for superior asset protection planning that will provide protection for their assets from a general public that is desperately looking for any reason to sue the wealthy and squeeze them for anything they can. The problem for many individuals with wealth is that they do not know who can be trusted and what types of asset protection strategies are the best.
There are many asset protection plans in the marketplace and a lot of seemingly intelligent people will fall for ridiculous strategies, such as UBS and LGT's offshore tax avoidance schemes. The UBS scheme is particularly troubling because it involved a firm with credibility, and thus making the scheme appear believable. Many advisors and clients were taken in by it and made recommendations to others. In the end, the scheme probably cost many advisors the business of wealthy clients who are now dealing with audits from the IRS.
Correct asset protection planning uses laws developed by congress to segregate assets and deter lawsuits. Individuals should not be advised to hide money in offshore accounts. True asset protection cannot guarantee to eliminate every lawsuit, but it will deter the contingent fee attorney lawsuits, and assets will be protected from creditors even if there is a lawsuit. There are legal ways for clients to "hide" assets in full transparency so creditors cannot attain them - with an Ultra Trust® irrevocable trust is one example of a great asset protection plan.
Filing Lawsuits Can Be Profitable: Should you Fight or Settle?
If you decide to fight or settle, in either case you lose. There have been many articles on lawsuits, whether to settle or fight the lawsuit and how easy it is to file. When people contact Estate Street Partners, they often mention that they desire to protect their assets from any lawsuits. While asset protection typically deters lawsuits, it cannot completely eliminate them from occurring. The people that you have to worry about are the attorneys that are not aware they have been beaten and the people who just seem to want to make your life difficult. Proper asset protection planning will structure a plan so that even if you are ever sued, you will lose as little as possible. The only problem is that you can still lose money when you choose to fight the battle due to the cost of defending yourself.
There are a number of plaintiffs that will file frivolous lawsuits because they are aware that the defendant would prefer to discretely settle and pay an amount instead of going to a public trial and face the risk of paying a lot more. This is a chance to take, but from the perspective of the defendant, it is better to pay a little than risk a large verdict.
