Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This book gives anyone access to the kind of information that was once just for the wealthy. I have given thousands of seminars throughout the United States and Canada on asset protection to more than 500,000 people. Doctors, engineers, architects, small business owners, and even lawyers have collectively paid millions of dollars to attend my seminars. I strongly feel the information in my seminars is necessary for every family; especially considering today's complex society. This book gives readers a mega dose of what I lecture about.

From the Inside Flap

IT'S YOUR FAMILY'S FUTURE. Do you have a will? Does it to what it's supposed to do for your family? Do you have a living trust? Will your loved ones avoid the high cost of probate and estate taxes? If you were to be sued because of an accident or a problem in your business, would your family lose a lot of what you have worked your whole life to give them? Can you afford to wait any longer to protect yourself? Can your loved ones afford to have you wait any longer? The answer is no!

Protecting Your Financial Future will show you how to shield yourself from the tragedies that come to every family. For Lee and Kristy Phillips, tragedy came as it usually does: when you least expect it. Just three months after getting his first job as an attorney, Lee was told he had terminal cancer. While Lee fought for his life, Kristy battled the financial and legal attacks that happen when a family suffers a tragic illness, death, accident, divorce, or business failure.

This experience led them to discover the practical, indispensable secrets you must know to protect yourself. Protecting Your Financial Future shares those secrets. This comprehensive guide will help you understand living trusts and other powerful legal tools so you can: Save thousands in taxes and legal fees; Protect your assets and business from lawsuits and judgments; Avoid probate and unnecessary court proceedings; Maximize your IRAs and retirement plans; Minimize grief, confusion, and financial burden for your loved ones.

Protecting Your Financial Future also give you ten asset protection tips you can implement immediately, without an attorney, to thwart lawsuits and other threats. Unlike other books on this topic, it combines personal anecdotes and a down-to-earth style to make in-depth information easy to read.

Using the secrets in Protecting Your Financial Future, you can easily protect yourself, ensure you financial future, and guarantee your peace of mind.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book on a not so interesting topic, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Protecting Your Financial Future (Hardcover)

This book is very readable and clear. It makes a potentially boring topic interesting and understandable. It is insightful and helps make the point that trusts are important for those with even just modest estates. It is a bit repetitious at times and contains a few too many personal stories, but it is otherwise motivating and a very useful guide for those unfamiliar with the legal world.

4.0 out of 5 stars More about Passing on rather than Protecting., October 31, 2006

This review is from: Protecting Your Financial Future (Hardcover)

I thought this book would be chock full of information on how to protect your assets from ruinous or frivolous lawsuits through the use of LLCs or other methods. Although the book does touch on this, by far, the bigger emphasis is on creating revocable trusts to streamline the inheritance issues and the many risks of poor planning in this area. It would be better titled "Passing On Your Financial Assets" and as such it would be an excellent 5 Star book on estate planning. However, I can only give it 4 stars since it's called "Protecting" which I found a bit misleading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read to Protect Your Family & Your Financial Future, March 10, 2003

A huge fan! (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Protecting Your Financial Future (Hardcover)

This is a simple, easy to read book about how to protect your money, savings and your assets. It reads like a novel with good stories, yet it has information like a reference book that you can easily refer to over and over again. I had never heard of the authors before, but when I found out it was a Time/Warner Book of the Month Club Selection, I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. You will be too.
