Book Description:
The latest techniques for preserving family wealth and legally avoiding personal liability in the operation of a small business are provided in this guide. Intended for the small business owner, the strategies discussed are equally effective in larger businesses. Taken together, these strategies provide a multilayered approach to asset protection, offering redundant protection and often presenting an insurmountable barrier to creditors. Topics covered include the types of property that are exempt from bankruptcy and legal judgments; and methods for using insurance, asset transfers, and asset protection trusts as a second level of defense. The strategies detailed in this book have been proven effective by actual court cases. Alternatives are contrasted and compared in terms of costs, complexity, and effectiveness, affording owners the opportunity to choose approaches based on their needs.

- Awesome Intro to Asset Protection
This book is probably the best entry level guide to asset protection.

Rating:

- Excellent book for general public
I read through the book and learned a lot about various aspects of asset protection. This book is focused on small business, as it says, and it does an excellent job when discussing various 'tools'. There are many great asset protection 'tools' out there, but what works for you is all you need to care about, and this books does just that to small business owners.

The book starts with understanding your position to creditors (private and gov't). Then, it helps you get to know one tool after another in different situations you may be in, and each chapter is just in great details including pro and cons, typical scenarios, and Smart Plan (I love these).

Of course, no one is perfect. What I wish to see from this book, and many other books in this topic, is the overall picture of a business entity model/structure a person/business should have. For instance, it'll be much more helpful if the author ... Read More

- What every small to large-sized business owner needs !!
It's clear that the author has years of experience in protecting business owners' hard-earned assets. The author's asset protection strategies range from simple and inexpensive to complex and costly. This really makes the book suitable for managers of large corporations as well as small business owners.

At 500 pages, the book is detailed and comprehensive, but easy to read. Who would have known that in many states taking out a second mortgage on a house could make it exempt from attachment, while in other states, just the opposite approach, i.e., paying off the first mortgage, is what's required? Or that an IRA shields assets from the claims of creditors in many states and thus provides much more than a tax shelter, while in other states an ERISA-qualified 401(k) plan is a better choice? The author sorts all of this out in an authoritative but easy to read guide. Many readers will wish that they had this ... Read More

- The Ultimate Wealth Preservation Guide
This is the ultimate guide to wealth building and wealth preservation. I've read other guides on forming an LLC or a corporation, but I never realized how woefully inadequate those other guides were before I purchased this book. As the author points out, many business owners form an LLC or a corporation without understanding how to strategically fund the entity, avoid exceptions to limited liability, or transfer assets to exempt categories, all of which are necessary if financial wealth is to be preserved in the face of lawsuits or bankruptcy. This guides teaches how to do all of that, and more.

The addition of actual cases, state asset exemption lists, and business forms for LLC's, makes this one of the best books of its kind that I've seen. Apparently this is one book in a series from the publisher that has received a lot of acclaim. ...
