Deferred Sales Trust Strategy

Find yourself in the enviable position of the sale of an asset which could trigger a capital gain event? First, be thankful you made a profit. Then, figure out a way to minimize your tax liability. The laws are there for those who are astute, to take advantage of. One such strategy is called a Deferred Sales Trust and here’s how it works. At some point before closing, you set up a trust and convey ownership of the asset to which the proceeds of your sale shall fund. This Trust will act as a tax shelter exempt from income, depreciation recapture and be protected from creditors or more...

Properly Structuring Insurance to Cover Your Assets

Along with taxes and spring cleaning each year, should come a time of introspection into your assets.  Do you carry the right amount of insurance to sufficiently protect yourself and your possessions against unexpected perils?  I am talking about the third “must do” besides death and taxes...Insurance and how to make it part of your asset protection program.   I am surprised at how many people have no idea about what their insurance covers, what endorsements they are paying for, or what deductibles they have.  They spend thousands each year between health, accident, auto, home, liability and commercial insurance and much of their more...

Insurance is Your Last Resort

Many people mistakenly believe that they don't need an asset protection plan because they're insured. Nothing could be further from the truth. While insurance does have a place in your asset-protecting system, it must not be your only line of defense. Insurance proceeds are only paid in accordance with the terms of the policy.

Think about how casinos make their money: Casinos know that some people are going to win at the tables, for example, but because far more people lose than win, at the more...

Protect Your Most Valuable Asset - Your Home!

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear about asset protection law - even from other lawyers - is that everyone should have his or her personal residence owned by a business entity such as a corporation or LLC.

(I discuss revocable living trusts in detail in my new book Trump University Asset Protection 101. You can also learn about them from your attorney and accountant.) So why wouldn’t you want to have more...
