What Does Asset Protection Entail In Santa Clarita
We live in a litigious society, both here in California and throughout the United States. We are in a world prone to dispute, and this creates risks for your assets. In general, the more assets you have, or the riskier your line of work, the more there is at stake. The only people that are judgment-proof are those with no assets. Most everyone else may benefit from a serious and comprehensive asset protection plan.
If you’ve worked hard to build personal or business wealth, your assets could be exposed in a lawsuit. While most people do not think about being sued, the reality is disputes take many forms. It is not uncommon to unexpectedly face personal injury lawsuits, premises liability lawsuits, business dispute lawsuits, and more. If you have not taken a proactive plan to protect your assets before these threats arise, you could face significant financial loss.
A skilled asset protection lawyer can look at your risk level and determine the best way to mitigate liabilities. There are almost always some baseline steps that we can suggest to put certain protections in place. These may include:
- Maxing out liability and related insurance coverages.
- Never commingling personal funds with business assets.
- Organizing assets into a trust for both personal benefits and for beneficiaries.
