Overview

Pragmatic Asset Protection is a practical guide for individuals seeking to protect their assets from creditors. The methods discussed fall squarely within the U.S. legal system and do not involve hiding assets offshore or other transparently phony schemes. This publication is the product of the author's extensive experience, including his work for the U.S. government as an expert witness on asset protection, and is especially helpful to those owning multiple real estate properties, professionals (doctors, attorneys, accountants, financial consultants, architects) and individuals engaging in activities that could give rise to large jury verdicts. Robert Sommers defines the leading concepts and how creditors and courts view various aspects of an asset protection plan. He identifies the pitfalls and traps for the unwary and includes common-sense pointers on how to best protect your assets in our litigious society. Citations to case law and other legal precedents are contained in the reference section.
