1. You hold assets in your own name:
You have no asset protection
and are vulnerable to attack by any creditor or lawyer wanting to file a
lawsuit against you. A
judgment creditor can swoop in easily and attach any assets you have.
2. You do
NOT hold title to your assets in your own name:
Your Family
Limited Partnership holds title but as general partner
you control everything. It is no longer easy for
creditors to discover what you own and it is very difficult,
if not impossible for them to break through.
If you want even more privacy and anonymity, we can assign a
Nevada or offshore LLC as the general partner. You can also use more than one Family Limited
Partnership. This way you can segregate safe assets like
bank accounts, from
risky assets like investment real estate, boats, and planes.
Best Use of
LLC for Asset Protection, Combined With FLP and Revocable
Trust
-
We form for
you an asset-protected
Nevada LLC to hold risky
assets like real estate or to run your business
privately. Our Nevada LLC is the strongest out there,
with a 100-page operating agreement designed
specifically to take
full advantage of every one of Nevada's asset protection
laws. Guaranteed to stand up to any creditor or
attacking attorney.
-
We form for
you an FLP
to work with the LLC in a carefully structured way.
-
Your
revocable trust owns 99% of the FLP so all assets pass
easily to heirs.
-
The FLP will
hold safe assets like bank accounts, and will place a
equity stripping lien on your home to secure its equity. We do
all the complicated paperwork for a proper lien, for
you.
3. Protecting Your Business Assets:
Your
asset-protected corporation or offshore corporation provides a
line of credit secured by the assets of your existing domestic
business that's in your state.
The assets can be equipment,
autos, stock accounts etc. Since ownership of an offshore corporation is secret and anonymous, your
involvement in these companies is not known.
You sign on the bank accounts but the offshore trust company
will hold your shares secretly.
We do this expertly so that your business assets are
properly encumbered and a creditor will have
little luck in reaching you.
4. Using a Nevada,
Wyoming, Delaware or
offshore corporation to add extra protection to a FLP:
Your domestic or offshore
corporation provides an equity line of credit to your
limited partnership and takes a 2nd trust deed as a
equity stripping lien on partnership
assets to secure its position. The domestic Corporation or Foreign Corporation will
be ahead of any creditor that files a lien. When the first
trust deed is paid off, the Nevada, Wyoming or Delaware, or foreign corporations
now are in first position. Upon a sale the proceeds will be
paid to the domestic or foreign corporation.
You can make payments for goods or services that your Nevada
or offshore corporation provides to your in-state business.
This transfers profits from your state where they are taxed,
to a non-tax entity. Federal taxes would still be payable
put potentially at a much lower rate. Be aware that under this
scenario you may run across transfer pricing issues that
will cause you difficulties with the IRS or the state where
you reside. So, you must use this method with good
accounting advice from your CPA.
Are These The Only Scenarios?
No, the above examples are just a few ways that
asset protection can be put to use to protect your home and
business assets. There are many more ways and methods of
doing things. Contact us to find
out what works best for you. A good plan requires time to
set up, the proper transfer of assets, and solid
documentation, all of which we do for you. |
