If you wait until trouble starts, your options to protect yourself and your assets are slim to none. However, planning in advance of problems fully protects you and your possessions.
Frivolous Lawsuits. People are sued today not necessarily because they have done wrong, but because they have high and exposed net worth, and thus are worth the predator’s time to pursue. Defending a lawsuit is so expensive that most people have to give up partway through ad settle just to get out of it.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, litigants sue whoever has a ‘deep pocket’. If you have an unprotected home, cash or insurance that deep pocket is you.
What Situations Create Liability And Danger of Financial Loss?
Acts of Others such as parents, children, employees or partners. Your son drives a car registered in your name, causes an accident, which leads to a lawsuit judgment, which can easily wipe out your assets. In an accident case, the courts do not allow you to protect assets from the day of the accident forward, even if a lawsuit related to it does not occur for months or years afterward.
Community Property is especially dangerous. The financial well-being of your entire family is subject to the decisions and risks that you or your spouse takes. In a community property state such as California, if you are sued your predator can get all of both your sand your spouse’s assets. For example, when a surgeon enters an operating room, the financial future of his or her family lies on the operating table. The outcome of the surgery will impact the patient physically and the physician financially.
Well Drafted Documents and Strategic Planning are Critical.
