LAWSUIT AND ASSET PROTECTION

How To Make Yourself JUDGMENT PROOF

Now You Can Build a Financial Fortress to protect your assets from the lawsuit epidemic.

We've all see the headlines:

  • "Jurors award $9.7 Million in Battery Blast"
  • "I'll sue.  That's what I'll do."
  • "Boy, 7, sued when he rode bike into street causing truck diver to swerve."
  • "Landlord Assessed $1 Million in Damages."
  • "$1 Million award for Bee Sting"
  • "Chef sues in attack by Goose"

Some of these stories may appear bizarre, even amusing.  But make no mistake.  If you happen to be at the receiving end, they could prove deadly.  Litigation in America is serious stuff.

A lawsuit from a totally unexpected source can wipe out everything you have worked so hard to accumulate.  In one big fall swoop, your lifetime savings could become prey to a judgment creditor and his gold-digging attorney.

LAWSUIT AND ASSET PROTECTION KIT 1994

To help you insulate your assets from lawsuits, lawyers, and other liabilities, we've put together the Lawsuit and Asset Protection Kit (1994).  It shows you all the legal ways you can protect your home, automobile, bank accounts, precious investments, and even your business from the hands of a judgment, creditor, taxman, or lawyer.  It is the most comprehensive guide with actual examples, strategies, ready-to-use forms, and step-by-step instructions to help you obtain the maximum protection under the law.
