We live in a "SUE-CRAZY" society.
HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR ASSETS from being grabbed by creditors, customers, patients, tenants, employees, IRS, or even your ex-spouse?
HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOURSELF as a homeowner, businessman, professional, landlord, doctor, investor, or even simply as a consumer?
NOW YOU CAN BUILD A FINANCIAL FORTRESS to protect your assets from the lawsuit epidemic.
Dear Friend,
We've all seen these 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 driver to swerve"
"Landlord Assessed $1 Million in Damages"
"Mother sued for $400,000 in unpaid bills for son who died waiting for liver transplant"
"$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 fell swoop, your lifetime savings could become prey to a judgment creditor and his gold-digging attorney. To help you insulate your assets from lawsuits, lawyers and other liabilities, weÆve put together the Lawsuit and Asset Protection Kit (1995). 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, tax man 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.
With the help of the Kit, perhaps youÆll be able to sleep a little easier. Maybe youÆll have the peace of mind that your hard-earned assets wonÆt be seized to satisfy a judgment.
