in order to claim assets during a lawsuit.
Proper business structuring can protect
your personal assets with no downside.
Experienced asset protection experts use long standing
methods to shield your business from lawsuits, such as:

Laws designed to protect the value of the homes of residents
from property taxes, creditors, and circumstances arising
from death of the homeowner spouse.
Some areas do have homestead
exemptions to reduce the value of the
home that is subject to property tax.
These laws can vary by state.
LLC laws specifically prohibit a lawsuit against the
members for a claim against the business.
An LLC has a great deal of flexibility and can
be taxed as a sole proprietor, partnership,
S corporation or C corporation.
Some states do not allow licensed professionals to
operate their professional practices as an LLC.

(Making sure your professional is up to date
with the latest laws in your state is essential).
LLC tax
FLP tax
A Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC)
can be used by professionals to isolate themselves
from liability of other partners.
It is important for professionals to have
personal and practice assets in LLCs
and/or FLPs to be protected.
PROFESSIONAL LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANIES (PLLCS)
FLPs are a business structure frequently
used to move family wealth from one
generation to another with favorable
tax treatment.
FLPs are typically
holding companies,
acting as an entity
that holds the asset
contributed by the
family members.
FAMILY LIMITED
PARTNERSHIPS
(FLPS)
A PLLC does not limit personal liability
for malpractice, meaning assets can be
taken to satisfy a judgement against
the business for malpractice.
