Tactical asset protection allows for the ability to keep your individual or business’s assets protected from creditor claims. Of course, this still has to operate within the bounds of debtor-creditor laws. But, it’s a wonderful option for millions of people out there and comes with several appealing benefits. Continue reading to learn 3 of the hottest benefits associated with tactical asset protection.
- Stay Protected From Lawsuits – As of this date, there are currently over 100 million lawsuits pending in the United States. On average, a new lawsuit is filed every 30 seconds and business owners typically pay $3,000 to $150,000 per case in legal costs. A proper legal structure can help keep you and you protected from lawsuits and having to pay unnecessary legal costs.
- Save Additional Money On Taxes – Businesses or individuals with an income of $100,000 to $150,000 could save 2.7% – 4.6%, which equates to between $2,700 and $6,900 in self employment taxes. A proper legal structure can reduce your capital gain taxes from things such as real estate, stocks and investments.
- Ensure The Succession Of Your Assets – When you pass, up to 50% of your assets could be lost to taxes and probate. At this day in age a will is often not enough to assure everything will be divided up the way you wish once you pass on. A properly structured trust can ensure that the successions of all your assets go exactly where you want them to.
