Orange County Asset Protection Planning

Nobody Expects to Be Sued

Just ask the 20 million people involved in lawsuits last year.

Divorce, inheritance, health issues, creditors, employee disputes, theft, changing markets, malpractice suits, sexual harassment claims, natural disasters and disgruntled business partners – these are just a few issues that can result in devastating lawsuits for unprepared business owners.

The highest level of risk falls on those who think they are immune.

Americans are now more concerned than ever about protecting their assets from creditor claims, taxes, divorce and other disasters. And rightly so.

Liability can arise in any number of ways including:

• Personal injury, such as a car accident or a slip-and-fall at your home, business or rental property
• Divorce
• Personal debts or Business debts
• Rental property tenant claims
• Error or malpractice resulting from professional services
• Liability as an officer, director, board member or partner
• Guarantee of a debt of another person or entity

Asset protection planning is not achieved by any one specific strategy. Nor is there a “one-size-fits-all” solution. The strategies that are right for protecting your assets can be achieved once we assess the type of assets you own, your specific risk factors, and the level of protection you desire.

We assist our clients in determining the appropriate level of asset protection planning for their particular circumstances. We will consider insurance, prenuptial agreements, LLCs, corporations, gifting, asset segregation, and asset protection trusts. Custom combinations of strategies may be layered depending on the needs of the client and as appropriate.
