Understand key strategies for approaching domestic and offshore asset protection trusts for your clients.
We live in a litigious society that seems to be victim oriented. Clients with assets are continuously subject to potential claims of liability. Understanding the key strategies for approaching, designing and structuring Domestic and Offshore Asset Protection for your clients is critical. This material will focus on the fundamentals involved in Asset Protection Planning and more importantly on the various strategies, uses, benefits, requirements and differences among the various Asset Protection strategies. There will also be a discussion on the most recent application with respect to Asset Protection Planning. The concepts of inside and outside creditors will be specifically explained and the setup of various structures designed to protect against both types of creditors would be thoroughly discussed. Finally, there will be case studies that will help pull everything together and make the learning experience extremely valuable. Appendix materials will also be supplied that will greatly enhance your practice.
