What is Asset Protection?
You work hard for your money. When you deposit your paycheck, the bank protects your cash with vault doors and alarm systems so that you may sleep comfortably knowing that your liquid assets are protected. When you spend your cash on things such as vehicles, houses, televisions or any other thing of value, you have converted your cash into another form of asset.
Once you purchase an asset such as your vehicle or home, that asset is immediately vulnerable to loss. It is no longer under the protection of the bank vault. For example, your assets may be stolen or destroyed. Many individuals realize this risk of loss, and choose to insure their valuable property by purchasing homeowner’s insurance, vehicle insurance…etc.
An insurance policy is one form of asset protection. In the event of loss due to a particular cause, such as fire, many insurance policies will protect the value of your asset by financial reimbursement. Unfortunately, many common insurance programs such as homeowner’s insurance only protect your assets from loss based on a short list of specific causes.
Whether your Domicile is MI or FL may determine what protections are available to you. Even with traditional insurance, your assets may still be vulnerable to other forms of loss. For example, loss due to legal proceedings such as foreclosure, bankruptcy, repossession due to loss of income, lawsuits brought by a spouse, children or other relative are generally not protected by traditional insurance. In other words, there are several legal avenues by which others may take your hard earned wealth. Fortunately, there are several legal avenues by which you can protect your wealth from financial predators.
