Annuities

The word “annuity” is defined as “an amount payable annually”. Specifically, an annuity refers to a contract offered by insurance companies allowing you to save funds for retirement on a tax-favored basis and then, if you want to, you can receive a guaranteed income payable either for life or for a certain time period.

Asset Protection Scams

Many of “scam artists” can be found on the Internet and will try to convince the unsuspecting that their Asset Protection “package” will save taxes or, worse they'll tell you that you won’t have to pay any taxes at all! Advice that helps you know if your dealing with a scammer or not.

Asset Protection Cases and Information

Estate Planning

“Estate Planning” is an extremely important tool in Asset Protection. Dying “intestate” (meaning not having a will or a trust in place at the time of death) could cause years of time spent in court, high attorney’s fees, etc. Something no survivor should have to go through. Proper Estate Planning includes some (or all) of the following: “Family Limited Partnerships,” “Living Wills,” “Living Trusts,” etc.

Asset Protection Jurisdictions

“Asset Protection Trusts” can be formed “offshore” in countries whose laws benefit the trust’s “settlor.” What makes forming an “offshore trust” desirable is the fact that the countries do not automatically recognize the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. This means that a properly implemented Asset Protection Trust can prevent creditors from seizing your assets.

Asset Protection Laws and Sections

each year, newer laws are enacted involving “Taxation,” “Bankruptcy,” “Money Laundering,” etc. The “USA PATRIOT Act” is one law that should be carefully watched. Under the guise of combating terrorism, Federal law enforcement agencies have the power to look into your bank account and any financial dealing you might have overseas.

Limited Liability Companies or LLC's

“Limited Liability Companies” (or “LLCs”) differ from “Corporations” in that a “corporate shareholder” is subject to judgment creditors (who can take control of the corporation) while a “LLC member” would not be subjected to such. This means that, if one member of an LLC is sued, the judgment against him will not affect the other LLC members.

Miscellaneous Asset Protection Information

This section deals with matters such as “Privacy,” “Nevada Corporations,” “Offshore Banking,” “USA PATRIOT Act,” etc. While they may not deal directly with Asset Protection, the articles are to keep readers informed about various items that are related to the individual in particular and the world of business as a whole.
