Asset Protection in a Troubled Economy
From the underlying substantive law to practical aspects of asset protection planning (i.e., what works and what does not, is it ever too late to plan), this program will teach you everything you need to know about protecting your assets from plaintiffs and creditors. We’ll cover specific planning strategies and solutions, including planning with community property, business entities and domestic and foreign trusts. Special emphasis will be placed on protecting assets in a troubled economy, including protection from lenders holding personal guarantees. The seminar will cover how to protect specific assets common to all clients: houses, bank and brokerage accounts, rental real estate, businesses and professional practices and retirement plans. Course materials will serve as a treatise on asset protection as well as an exhaustive reference source for many of your planning needs and will outline and diagram the discussed planning techniques and structures.
