Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. has helped hundreds of thousands of clients with setting up entities such as Corporations, LLCs, Trusts, and Partnerships over the years. One of the driving forces behind setting up an entity such as a Corporation, LLC, Partnership, or Trust is the idea that you can separate your own personal self from whatever it is you are trying to protect by putting those items into that entity.
Many people set up entities to protect their assets, and the key to asset protection is asking the right questions! What is it that you are trying to accomplish? Is it a business you’re trying to protect? Is it real estate you’re trying to protect? Is the real estate income producing? Is the business operational? Is it just cash that you are trying to protect? The key to forming an asset protection strategy is to gather what it is you want to accomplish and find out your particular set of circumstances and facts.
Another key to asset protection is anonymity and layering the entity to protect your public records. For example, you may need to create an entity in a state that protects your public records and then use that entity for anonymity in a separate state. Remember, we don’t want anybody to know our strategy as we’re trying to protect our assets.
