    Asset Protection Planning

    We work to protect our clients assets from four predators of wealth.
    1. Taxes. Both income and estate/gift taxes can take more than their fair share of what you have worked so hard to earn and accumulate.We look at every possible way to mitigate the taxes owed now and in the future. Ways many accounting firms don’t talk to their clients about.
    2. Stock market. The stock market took away over 50% of its value twice in the first decade of this century. We look a variety of ways customized to your risk tolerance, investment objectives and time horizon to mitigate this risk.
    3. Lawsuits*. Proper entity structures in the correct jurisdiction can greatly reduce the chance of a lawsuit being filed against you. Use of LLCs, trusts and corporations for various asset types based on your needs and objectives. This can include off-shore planning.
    4. Long-term healthcare. The costs of post-retirement healthcare can wipe out a lifetime of wealth accumulation in a few short years. We design plans that minimize out-of-pocket costs to our clients.
