With fewer estates subject to tax, asset protection is more important. IA reps, especially CFPs, CPA/PFSs, CIMAs and insurance professionals should be discussing asset protection with all of their clients.
If you're giving advice on wealth management, integrating strategies to protect a client's earnings, bequests, and other assets from lawsuits, divorce, family discord, business disputes and other claims is a matter of prudence, and can make a huge difference in a client's financial life.
Beyond self-settled trusts, new state laws now enable new asset protection techniques, including the use of inter vivos QTIP, non-reciprocal reciprocal, and third-party discretionary trusts. At this session, Gideon Rothschild, a leading educator of legal, tax and financial planning professionals for over three decades, will talk about:
• Why planners need to discuss asset protection with every client
• How to protect inheritances from divorce and creditors
• Maximizing protection for IRAs
• When to use self-settled trusts
• Is it better to go offshore?

Excellent, great topic and very well communicated solutions.
Thank you!!
Only gave my pal Gideon a "4" on learning objectives, because he never got around (at least forthrightly) to the "What Should You Say" portion of asset protection. After all, if you have any smarts at all, what you should say is simply "talk to this guy named Gideon"
Excellent. Best so far!

A little too much at once. Felt like I was drinking from a fire hose.
