Clearing up Common Misconceptions on LLCs and How to Protect Your Assets without Breaking the Bank with Brian T. Bradley

Googling real estate asset protection will result in pages filled with misconceptions, like that asset protection is only for high net worth investors or that all you need to protect yourself is an LLC. To separate the truth from fiction, we welcome back Brian T. Bradley who, since our last conversation, has been voted America’s Best Attorney for 2020. After summarizing key asset protection strategies and how they act as different layers of insurance, we dive straight into the top asset protection myths. You’ll hear why you should never set up your LLC as a single-member company and how to decide which state to set up your limited partnerships in. From our special focus on LLCs, we explore how anonymity can work in your favor but why it doesn’t offer any legal protection. An important point, Brian highlights that asset protections don’t exist to hide your assets. Instead, they’re a holistic strategy to protect your assets from risks that range from getting into a car accident to someone injuring themselves on your property. We also touch on the power of offshore trusts and how Quantum Living Trusts can offer incredible protection for families who have under one million dollars in net worth. Tune for real insights into asset protection and to learn the asset protection questions that you should be asking your attorney or CPA. Key Points From This Episode:A warm welcome back to Brian T.
