Average Rating:
 Rating:  - realisticI found this book well written. The approximate first half educates the reader about the many pitfalls of asset protection, and the second half shows a variety of options to be used in an overall strategy of asset protection.

Rating: - Best Book on the SubjectI've read several books on this subject and this one was by far the best. Many of the other books in the field have some rather dubious tactics listed, but this book focuses on reasonable steps people can take to protect their asstes that are legal and likely to stand up in court. I found this book to be a well organized, well written professional text in a field filled with a lot of books hawking expensive and legally questionable scams and schemes. |
