No forms or worksheets,
This review is from: Asset Protection for Physicians and High-Risk Business Owners (Paperback)
I was disappointed that this book did not include any do-it-yourself forms or worksheets. Although it included extensive discussions on the background of asset protection law and the strategies used by the author, I felt that appropriate forms to accomplish this planning should have been included in the book. The information in the book may be valuable to those who can pay an attorney to set up a plan, but those of us who cannot afford those fees would have benefited greatly if the forms had been included. mlh

Great Coverage of New Laws on FLP's and LLC's,

This review is from: Asset Protection for Physicians and High-Risk Business Owners (Paperback)
I've read the 2011 version very carefully and appreciate that it's the only book that brings asset protection law fully up to date, to the current year. As Mr. Mintz points out, several states, by legislation or case law, have eliminated traditional charging order protection for Family Limited Partnerships and LLC's and the new model of asset protection generally relies on strategies such as a Family Savings Trust as a centerpiece of the planning. Also, there have been many changes in the offshore world over the past few years and the book does a good job of describing current issues with offshore banking and other vehicles. When the book is used in conjunction with the author's website [...], the reader will have a very thorough and continually up to date picture of the latest developments in the field.

Great book with new case law,

This review is from: Asset Protection for Physicians and High-Risk Business Owners (Paperback)
Mr. Mintz's new book gives the reader an in depth look at the reality of our legal system which targets many blameless defendants simply because they are "deep pockets" with the ability to pay a claim. The chapter on " What Happens in a Lawsuit" is deadly accurate and anyone involved in litigation or even thinking about a lawsuit should definitely read this first. My thanks to the author for this very insightful and valuable book. I will certainly recommended it to many of my friends.
