Author Goldstein has been an asset protection attorney for many years. His first book, Asset Protection Secrets, was a best seller. This one is for everyone: people with money; people with little assets but they don't want to lose them; young and old; married, divorced and single; savvy or naive.
These chilling words set the tone: "You just never know what a jury will do," and "Juries decide if a case has merit." He states that 93% of Americans have absolutely no lawsuit protection aside from their liability insurance--because we procrastinate and don't think it will ever happen to us.
You don't have to do anything wrong to be sued and lose. You only have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time--or come across some greedy lunatic who things he has a reason to be grieved.
Goldstein's advice and strategies show how you can protect yourself against lawsuits, divorce, creditors, the IRS and other deadly threats to your wealth and assets (money, investments, possession, businesses, etc.).
Bulging with easy-to-understand advice, the book might make you to decide TODAY is the time to start protecting your assets and no longer be non-protected.
From personal experience, I know that money and time spent now can save you a lot of both later. It is shocking that only one in five Americans have even a simple will to define their wishes.
The author ends with four important steps:
1.Commit to action: Set a goal and get started.
2.Organize your team of advisors to protect your assets, including family members, business associates, etc.--people you can trust.
3.Recruit the right professionals: your lawyer, accountant, banker, financial planner/investment advisor, insurance professional--and what criteria to use.
4.Stay proactive in maintaining financial security: Be your own counsel in addition to your advisors; learn, read, be proactive.
Armchair Interviews says: So Sue Me should scare you right into your lawyers and accountant's office, place a call to your insurance man, and generally "look over your shoulder" now that you know how easily you can lose your assets.
