An Introduction to Asset Protection

Clients call Rodney Hatley when:
(1) They are concerned about minimizing or eliminating estate, generation-skipping transfer, and gift taxes;
(2) They are taking their company public (we can move their stock ownership into special trusts so that the value of the company is out of their estates for estate, generation-skipping transfer, and gift tax purposes);
(3) They are selling their company and are concerned about claims of fraud and nondisclosure when buyer's remorse sets in (we can put the proceeds into asset protection trusts so that the money is protected from later litigation over the sale of the company); or
(4) They have been sued (we can help them understand their rights and responsibilities so that they can make informed decisions regarding next steps).
