Asset Protection w/ Ike Devji of Arizona Wealth Law 

- BRT S01 EP31 9-06-20

 

Guest: Ike Devji Asset Protection Attorney

w/ Arizona Wealth Law 

https://www.azwealthlaw.com/ 

http://www.proassetprotection.com/

 

Ike’s expertise in the areas of asset protection, trusts, LLC,, off shore asset protection, and lawsuit protection strategies. Ike also covers areas business owners should consider when selling their business. He is an AZ resident for 40 years and graduated from University of Arizona who has spoken, taught classes and written numerous articles (over 300) on asset protection, and books. Ike's client base is over 5000 with collected $5 Billion in personal assets. 

He discusses asset protection, trusts, LLC, off shore asset protection and lawsuit protection strategies. Ike also covers areas business owners should consider when selling their business.

We ask Ike:

  1. What is 'asset protection'? Is it different from estate planning? 

  2. Why can't we just buy insurance? 

  3. What are the biggest mistakes people make in protecting their wealth?
  4. What assets does Arizona law protect? 
  5. Who needs it? What are the risk factors? 

What are some current risks business owners need to be aware of related to COVID19?

 

Notes on Asset Protection:

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/retirement/07/buildawall.asp

Stripped-out equity

One option for protecting your assets is to pull the equity out of them and put that cash into assets that your state protects. Suppose, for example, that you own an apartment building and are concerned about potential lawsuits. If you took out a loan against the building's equity, you could place the funds in a protected asset, such as an annuity (if annuities are sheltered from judgments in your state).

 

Other Ways to Protect Your Assets

There are some inexpensive, simple ways to protect assets that anyone can implement:

  • Transfer assets to your spouse's name. However, if you divorce, the end results could be different from what you intended.
  • Put more money into your employer-sponsored retirement plan because it might have unlimited protection.
  • Buy an umbrella insurance policy that protects you from personal injury claims above the standard coverage offered by your home and auto policies.
  • Make the most of your state's laws regarding homesteads, annuities, and life insurance. Paying down your mortgage, for example, could protect cash that is otherwise vulnerable.
  • Don't mix business assets with personal assets. That way, if your company runs into a problem, your personal assets may not be at risk and vice versa.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • As a business owner, it's your responsibility to do everything within your means to limit risk and to keep the business running smoothly.
  • It's wise for a small business to have an attorney on retainer.
  • Owners and their employees should avoid making libelous public pronouncements or conducting business that might be considered questionable.
  • Putting your business into a trust or incorporating it can help protect your personal assets in the event your firm is sued.
  • All businesses should obtain appropriate liability insurance and take steps to protect their computer systems from attack.
