Asset protection info

Asset protection is a fairly new area for the legal profession. It is different than the retirement plans we usually hear of and involves more advanced methods of protecting your assets while you are living, and after you pass, for the benefit of your family.

Types of asset protection
- Estate Planning
- Family limited partnership
- Children's trusts
- Living trusts
- Offshore assets
- Tax exempt assets

The above are just a few types of asset protection, for large estates other different vehicle of asset protection can be perfected.

Many of the types of asset protection were devised to protect an individual's life savings and accumulated assets from law suits which are so numerous these day, many times issued for trivial and not-sounded reasons.

Another major reason for the development of asset protection types is our system of taxation which tends to tax at a higher rate people who work hard and accomplish certain gains.

Asset protection plans are not only for wealthy individuals. If you drive a car, get into an accident and are sued, your car insurance company might not cover all the losses and you might have to pay for the rest of your life.

Asset protection through the use of international banks and funds is more accessible than ever even for middle class families and it will take advantage of international development of emerging countries and of different taxation systems, etc.

It is time to evaluate your family, your assets, your earning potential and insure that your assets will increase over the years and will be protected in any situation.
