One should not buy this book believing it is a practical manual on the topic of estate planning or asset protection. The book is remarkably easy to read and filled with hypotheticals based on a case sample, but it lacks the depth and detail required to be a good primary reference.

Complete Guide to Asset Protection Strategies
Mark Warda Manufacturer: Galt Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1888699035 |
Book Description
With juries giving out million-dollar awards for such things as spilt coffee and harassment, anyone with assets must realize that what has taken a lifetime to earn can be lost in an instant. Our legal system has become a lottery in which lawyers finance claims against anyone with money. This book explains in simple language how anyone with any assets can best protect them against any type of claims.After seeing how unfair the legal system has become, Attorney Mark Warda spent over a year and a half studying every type of asset protection plan available, from the homestead exemption to the offshore trust, from the most court-protected to the clearly illegal, and from the cost-free methods to the most expensive schemes. This book is the result of that research.
In simple language, it explains what works, what doesn't and why. It provides asset protection plans for every need, from the simple and cheap to the complex and expensive. It explains the three main ways to keep your assets out of reach of creditors and the five most important rules for being sure they work. It includes a summary of the law for each state and explains how to do more research to keep up to date.
If you own any assets you do not want to lose to a creditor, you need this book!

The strategies detailed in this book have been proven effective by actual court cases. Alternatives are contrasted and compared in terms of costs, complexity, and effectiveness, affording owners the opportunity to choose approaches based on their needs.Customer Reviews:
Awesome Intro to Asset Protection.......2005-03-02
Excellent book for general public.......2004-07-17
The book starts with understanding your position to creditors (private and gov't). Then, it helps you get to know one tool after another in different situations you may be in, and each chapter is just in great details including pro and cons, typical scenarios, and Smart Plan (I love these).
Of course, no one is perfect. What I wish to see from this book, and many other books in this topic, is the overall picture of a business entity model/structure a person/business should have. For instance, it'll be much more helpful if the author include 2 or 3 smart business structures one should/could have and provide explanation of how each model works. The model should utilize, let's say, LLC, Living Trust, children's Trust... altogether to build a strong asset protection structure for a business and its business owners. It's true that the models may not totally work for each indiv., but it does give great understanding of how/why it's structured the way it is.
Overall, the book is great and highly recommended to general public readers who, like me, is not a lawyer or pro in this area. Further legal assitance is still recommended, but at least readers get good understanding when designing their own plan.
What every small to large-sized business owner needs !!.......2003-06-21
At 500 pages, the book is detailed and comprehensive, but easy to read. Who would have known that in many states taking out a second mortgage on a house could make it exempt from attachment, while in other states, just the opposite approach, i.e., paying off the first mortgage, is what's required? Or that an IRA shields assets from the claims of creditors in many states and thus provides much more than a tax shelter, while in other states an ERISA-qualified 401(k) plan is a better choice? The author sorts all of this out in an authoritative but easy to read guide. Many readers will wish that they had this book years ago before financial problems developed. But, even there the author has strategies that can help avert a disaster.
The content, layout and design of this book make it not only indispensable, but actually fun to read. The tips, warnings and anectdotes are terrific. Attorney Misenti obviously has wide ranging experience in this field and his writing style is superb.
The Ultimate Wealth Preservation Guide.......2003-05-29
The addition of actual cases, state asset exemption lists, and business forms for LLC's, makes this one of the best books of its kind that I've seen. Apparently this is one book in a series from the publisher that has received a lot of acclaim. ...
Save a Million Dollars! Timely Guidance.......2003-05-29
I like the fact that the author proves that, when his asset protection strategies are put into place before financial problems arise, they are virtually beyond challenge, even to the extent of preserving an individual's entire wealth against the most significant of claims. I found it amazing that, with the right planning, millionaires can emerge from a major lawsuit or bankruptcy with no loss at all! Want to save a million dollars or all of the assets you have worked hard to create? Buy this book NOW and put a comprehensive asset protection plan in place based on the author's recommendations.

Best book on estate planning and asset protection.......1998-10-06
One of the best aspects of the book is its writing style. It was actually enjoyable to read; intermingling strategies with anecdotes that illustrate principles.
Living trusts and other asset protection tools are often used incorrectly. The authors of Protecting Your Financial Future help readers avoid common pitfalls and build wealth with strategies all my clients should use. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a trust or thinks they will benefit from a trust. This book will give you the answers you need for the best possible plan.

Constitutional Trusts are TAX FRAUD.......2005-06-09
THIS BOOK IS A HOAX!!! BEWARE!!!.......2002-10-17
I had a client approach me with questions about a so called "Pure Trust" or "Constitutional Trust" so I did quite a bit of research. The Constitutional Common Law Trust does not work. It is absolute tax fraud. The IRS letter referred to in the book does not say that the income generated from the pure trust is not taxable or is not includable in the grantor's estate. What the letter says is that no tax ID number is necessary for the trust in question because it is not a taxable entity separate from the grantor under Section 671 of the Code. Under Section 671 the income will be taxed directly to the grantor of the trust. That is a totally different than saying that income from the trust is not taxable.
We deal with clients on very sophisticated tax strategies that are not in the public domain. If the Pure Trust worked we would be very very interested in using it with our clients. The less money that goes to the IRS means more money for our company to manage (which leads to greater fees). But, unforunately, the constitutional common-law trust just doesn't work.
See IRS Notice 97-24 concerning abusive trusts.
There are many valid tax planning techniques that can operate to reduce assets and protect assets from creditors. The Constitutional Common Law Trust is not one of these valid techniques.
bad writing at its finest!!!.......2001-11-08
It may be true that Thomas Jefferson and Ross H Perot have established common law trusts but they had their lawyers do all the work!!! The actual paperwork of the trust is simple but it is necessary to pay for advice on how to file correctly. ALso, you may want to have a "professional" overview and inspect your work to make sure the IRS will have no problems with you.
Anyone reading this book should look for a book which contains encoded filing information...actual court cases and actual code always helps the reader understand and believe at the same time!!
