In order to understand fully this concept everyone should clear up the term trust. First, the grantor is the person who shows the interest in protecting his assets. The trustee is the other part who is obliged to protect the assets. The trust is basically the contract between these two parts. Asset protection trust refers to a certain transfer of assets from the grantor to a specialize institution which will eventually protect the assets obliged by the Trust Contract.

There are two types of asset protection trust. The first one to be explained is the grantor type. What does this mean? It is all about the tax code. In this case the grantor maintains authority on his assets. This agreement supposes the fact that the contract would be interpreted as a disregarded legal entity. What is a disregarded entity and what does such a title signifies? This title means that this kind of entity is considered “Income Tax Neutral”. Through the asset protection trust, the grantor is obliged to pay his taxes for the assets which he got protected.

An asset protection trust may be of two types: revocable and irrevocable. The first one is nothing more but a formal contract which does not function as it is supposed to. The grantor maintains strong connections to his assets, so strong that they are not really protected. This kind of contract proves useful only at the moment the grantor gets involved in a lawsuit or in an avoidance of estate taxes procedure.

Basically the asset protection trust helps someone who is in one of the several situations: taxation, divorce or bankruptcy. So it is pretty easy to notice that is highly possible that the governments and the courts would limit these contracts. But they are not impossible to be concluded. An irrevocable trust is only one accepted in the case of mandatory spend-down provisions for qualifying into a nursing home.

So the asset protection system is a wide area of financial changes. And anyone can get a part of it. Being informed by a counselor or not each person can conclude an asset protection trust. It is just a simple contract. It would not harm anybody. And in the situations mentioned above it would prove of real help. The only thing that a grantor is supposed to do is the fact that he has to pay attention on the type of asset protection trust he decides upon, because there are certain kinds which would prove of no help. They are simple pieces of paper and nothing more. Everyone should inform properly in order to avoid such situations. That is why each person should see from time to time a law counselor who could help in understanding all law procedures. The law system could prove extremely tricky if not treated with effective care. An asset protection trust properly formulated will help a lot the grantor. He would be able to surpass through a violent lawsuit without important losses. So it is important for him to try to assure of the validity of this act.

An asset protection trust would make easier someone’s financial evolution because it offers the necessary warranty in order to protect the assets. There are several questions concerning this topic and a law counselor should be able to explain his client all ambiguities. There are special firms which can serve their clients in this way and they offer trusty services. So, in spite of the fact that an asset protection trust could prove superficial, there are certain ways of getting assured of its validity. The client only has to be well informed and really interested.

Asset Protection Ohio and Ohio Asset Protection Trust:

In Ohio there are very limited ways that one can implement Asset Protection.

There is no protection from outside entities or creditors regarding what has been transferred into the living trust.

In other words, a living trust is known as a revocable trust.  Living trusts are not considered a vehicle for asset protection. A living trust is used mainly to allow assets to transfer at death without going through probate or to allow a co-trustee or successor trustee manage assets in the event of incapacity of the settlor of the trust.

Living Trusts Are Revocable And Not An Asset Protection Tool.

So there are Invokable Trusts, Also Irrevocable Trust’s.

All of these types of Trust’s are all protected and warranted under the Ohio Revised Code.

Also there are two documents that govern these type of transactions.

1. Ohio Trust Act

2. Ohio Fraudulent Transaction Act

Both of the above are part of the Ohio Revised Code and Ohio Unified Code.

The Ohio Unified Code is also known and mentioned as part of what Ohioans know as Ohio Revised Statutory Code.

One type of an Ohio Irrevocable Trust would allow you to have a Trust checking account.

This account is changeable up until the party’s death.

Particularly, this type of Asset Protection Trust is one that I personally use.

The reason that this is a great asset protection tool is because, It’s only taxed and implemented at the State’s level.

Which for you means, It’s not Federally taxed.

There’s also no Probate Court appointment at time of death.

All the above are good reason’s indeed to use the protection of asset’s with the Irrevocable Trust right in Ohio.

One of the number one reasons is, Your survivors will be able to get hold of the money without probate.

You would truly rest in peace knowing there taken care of.

All of the above should be watched carefully.

There’s many a twist and turn, A wrong move could put you in a problem with the State of Ohio.

Which could possibly lead to prison.

None of this should be taken for the advice of an Attorney.

Your Attorney will know the ins and outs and how to protect you.

It’s not a question of ends, it’s a question of means.

Either government’s role is not merely to protect and preserve liberty, or it is to usurp it, to trample on it. You cannot possibly draw distinctions among the ENDS for which it may do this - because (1) those distinctions are subjective - they are merely the ideals that any individual might have, and (2) ALL such proposed objectives will simply be represented as “for the children” or “for the good of the whole” - those phrases become meaningless (they already have) and pretty soon it’s just a feeding frenzy, people become less focused on creating wealth than on taking it from others, and then there is less to go around.

Freedom and wealth creation go hand in hand, folks.
We’re not talking about helping an elderly homeless person on the streetcorner.

We’re talking about mugging the next 10 people who walk down the street, paying ourselves for the effort and then giving the elderly homeless woman 25 cents on the dollar, and justifying this by either or both of (1) there are 11 of us so we’re a ‘majority’ and (2) look we gave money to an elderly homeless woman.

The inability of so many to see how this creates a precedent for 11 to mug 10 for any purpose is frightening.
Brian please see my other posts, I am a Libertarian, I oppose corporate welfare and think it’s even worse than individual welfare….. I think gays should be allowed to marry each other - - - you won’t see ME at any of the ceremonies, and I think they’re NUTS, but it’s supposed to be a FREE country and you have a right to be nuts!
Hopeful, you should try to be Thoughtful instead - a material minimum wage hike would only put people out of work. That’s what price floors do.

Money For Traveling


Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money for sharing your adventures with the world? Using the web and a simple blog, this couldn’t be easier. There are just a few simple, yet hidden techniques for making a healthy income for blogging about your travels.

In fact, the number of underground travelers who hold no jobs, yet make cash for writing about their  travels is growing by the day. We keep our mouths shut about our techniques as we visit worldwide destinations and get paid for telling the world about it. I know there have got to be great people out there who deserve to travel and want this information, so I’ve decided to share a few of our techniques:

1)   Own Your Blog. Sites like Blogger, Myspace, and BlogSpot are no good for our purposes, because you can’t tweak the site to make a profit very easily. Instead, if you buy a domain for 10 bucks and then install Wordpress, you now have the platform to make it extremely profitable.

2)    Utilize PPC (pay-per-click) to get started. You won’t make a massive income off of this right away, but you can easily make 5-10 bucks a day in the beginning. That may not sound like a lot… but it’s enough for a meal every day or a flight after a month, and the number only gets bigger as your blog grows in readership.



3)    Collect names and email addresses. You want to do this so that you can bring your readers back to your blog. Very few people ‘bookmark’ a site any longer, but if you email your readers every time you post a new article, you will grow your readership at an exponential rate.

4)    Offer an RSS (Real Simple Syndication) subscriptions. Don’t let this intimidate you. Setting this up is as simple as checking a box on your blog’s options. RSS is another way for your readers to keep up-to-date with your blog. Insead of you emailing them, their RSS reader of choice will automatically show them the newly posted content. The more they see your content, the better chance they’ll click on an ad (and therefore, the better chance you’ll get paid)

5)    Sell a product that will interest your readers. Once you are up and running, you will see your readership growing as well. Now it’s time to really monetize your site. This is where affiliate marketing comes in. This is simply taking a commission for any customer you send to another product (considering they buy the product). So, every now and again, make a blog post about the affiliate product you are promoting. When your readers see this, those who are interested will click on your ‘affiliate link,’ and if they buy, you get paid. Easy as that. Becoming an affiliate is always free, and there are thousands of products begging for active affiliates.

By the way, affiliate commissions are typically 50% to 75%. Gigantic, and very profitable.



6)    Create your own product. The only problem with affiliate marketing is that the product is completely out of your control and you only take a part of the cut. Once you have a bunch of blog posts, you can bundle them together and make an ‘ebook.’ Sell this to your loyal readers, and you’ll be surprised at how many of them will pay for the content they’re getting for free anyway!

There are bloggers out there who are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for writing about their passions. My instincts tell me you’d be happy with a few hundred or thousand dollars extra per week, so start taking action on these ideas. They’re not complicated, they just require action. The best part is, once they’re set up, they can all be automated and can take place without your presence!

The economy works the way Adam Smith, David Ricardo, J.B. Say and Josef Schumpeter said it does. Private enterprises generate profit by allocating resources the way consumers want - the price of the resources is driven by other uses, thus if you can generate a greater profit from one use than from another, that means the consumers, in the aggregate, want them put to that use.

Profits tell producers what to produce. They tell investors where to invest capital. Reinvestment of profits is the most efficient way to fuel growth / wealth creation. The more you tax profits, the less reinvestment, the less ‘natural’ growth, the more the Fed, politically, must fuel growth artificially and temporarily via monetary means, ultimately producing inflation (1930s-1970s).

Tax cuts allow the economy to reinvest its own earnings and grow naturally, allowing the Fed to focus solely on inflation and maintain stable prices, thus creating long expansions (1980s-Today).
Gotta be the Lib quote of the week - “who the heck is Josef Schumpeter” - - - - while posting an opinion on economics…… Kind of like spouting off about baseball and then asking “who the hell is George Brett?”

Mack Michaels has just released his new product Maverick Money Makers. A Step-By-Step system that allows you to make at least $ 11,917 per month from scratch!

Maverick Money Makers is the only training program in the world of its kind which aims to do one thing and one thing only. You learn to do a lot of money on the Internet.

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don’t just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who’d have you believe it’s a “Walk in the Park” and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I’ll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

The answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, “what comes first the chicken or the egg”? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don’t think many of us do either.

But one thing in Maverick Money Makers System is have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

What you are about to discover (among many other things) is the ability to help other highly successful companies in promoting their products and get paid a handsome commission for every single bit of business you help them get.

Pretty cool that you don’t even need your own product isn’t it?

You see, companies are rapidly moving toward a new model of marketing, and that model is based on people like YOU to get the word out about their products.

I highly recommend it for beginners who want to create an income online.

A major goal of asset protection planning is to substantially diminish and reduce your financial profile. If you can restructure your assets in such a way so as to place them beyond the reach of future potential creditors, while at the same time maintaining a beneficial interest in those assets, you have succeeded in substantially reducing your financial profile. Accordingly, you are a far less attractive target for litigation because of issues of doubt of collectability, thusly reducing the likelihood that you will be sued; or if you are sued, increasing the likelihood of a favorable settlement.

A trust can be an effective foundation for your asset protection planning. Trusts have been utilized for centuries as a means of conserving and protecting property for the beneficiaries of the trust. However, most domestic trusts do not provide protection from creditors. The typical revocable living trust, wherein the trustors are the lifetime beneficiaries and retain the power to revoke, amend and invade the principal of the trust, provides no protection whatsoever against the creditors of the trustors. Accordingly, absent specific legislation to the contrary, self created or self settled trusts are ineffective for asset protection planning purposes.

As was stated previously, most self settled trusts are not protected from creditors. However, recently, several states have provided various degrees of asset protection legislation for a self settled trust. The trust legislation in Alaska, Delaware, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nevada, Utah and Rhode Island is similar in many respects to the asset protection trust legislation found in several offshore jurisdictions. It should be noted, however, that the courts have not had an opportunity to pass muster on this type of legislation because of its recent enactment and because the statute of limitations in most cases has not expired. Depending on the timeline involved with respect to when the claim has arisen, these trusts can be and should be considered in appropriate circumstances, but only by an attorney who understands all of the ramifications.

Offshore asset protection planning normally involves the utilization of offshore trusts and other entities. Offshore planning generally raises justifiable concerns with respect to asset security and tax issues. The most efficacious manner to address these concerns is to make certain that you are receiving the best advice and counsel from a qualified expert in the area. You must be sure that the attorney with whom you are dealing has expertise in the field and is recognized in this regard by his peers.

A FAPT is a trust that is set up in an offshore jurisdiction which has enabling trust legislation providing for substantial protection against creditors of the trustor. One of the greatest advantages of the FAPT is the fact that by its very nature any legal attacks against its assets are transferred abroad to a different legal system. The FAPT is generally much more expensive to set up and create than a domestic trust and requires a certain willingness on the part of the Trustor to deal with offshore jurisdictions and trust entities. The FAPTs’ greatest value is for asset protection planning well in advance of any potential creditor problem. Moreover, many times FAPTs are only used when the client already has some international connections and networking. Recent cases have emphasized the need for careful planning in the structuring of the FAPT if it is to be legally efficacious and successful in meeting the purposes and objectives of the trustor.

Most foreign jurisdictions do not recognize US judgments. This may force a trial de novo on the merits under the laws of foreign situs in order for the creditor to impose liability on the trustor and reach the assets of the FAPT. Obviously, the fees and expenses of this trial de novo and the burden of having to select offshore counsel can be substantial. Moreover, the FAPT jurisdiction, generally, requires plaintiffs to employ attorneys who are licensed in that jurisdiction.

Most foreign situs jurisdictions require that the burden of proof in challenging asset transfers to a FAPT is on the creditor and does not shift to the trustor. Moreover, many foreign jurisdictions impose a higher standard of proof upon civil litigation plaintiffs such as the “beyond the reasonable doubt” standard. This is in sharp contrast to the “preponderance of the evidence” principle utilized in US domestic civil cases.

The FAPT legislation of many jurisdictions establishes a statute of limitations for challenging asset transfers to a FAPT that begins to run on the date of transfer. This is contrary to US law where the statute may begin to run the date the transfer is “discovered” by someone with a claim against the trustor. Additionally, the statute of limitations of many FAPT jurisdictions is much shorter than the typical four year statute found under US law.

Manifestly, it is going to be much more expensive and inconvenient to prosecute a claim offshore. Think of the inconvenience of having to pursue a claim out of state and then multiply that by two to three times the cost to pursue the matter in a foreign jurisdiction. Many foreign jurisdictions prohibit contingency fee arrangements forcing the claimant to finance a litigation process entirely on his/her own. Creditors may think twice about having to deal with a completely different legal system out of the country. This unfamiliarity, plus the additional expenses and costs, and the entire uncertainty with respect to the process, adds a substantial element of protection to the FAPT.

The FAPT may assist the trustor in achieving several other objectives and planning goals independent of asset protection planning. Traditional estate planning issues such as the orderly transfer of property at death, the avoidance of probate, the strengthening of spendthrift provisions, greater privacy w, the management of offshore assets and businesses and premarital planning can all be addressed by the FAPT.

The easiest way to understand how a FAPT protects cash and securities is to focus on the process by which a claimant would try to reach trust assets. A claimant must either bring his case in a court that has jurisdiction over the trustee so that the court can order the trustee to give up the assets or initiate litigation in the court that has jurisdiction over the assets themselves so that the court can attach or seize the assets. However, if the client’s offshore planning strategy is properly structured and implemented, no domestic court can successfully attack the plan because it would not have the ability to force the offshore trustee to expatriate or return the assets nor would it have the ability to levy on assets properly held outside of the United States.

Protecting non liquid assets like real estate, accounts receivable and business equipment involves the process of equity stripping. Although some of these assets can be put in charging order protected entities that may provide some limited protection, the most effective strategy available to protect a domestic illiquid asset is to strip that asset of its value by encumbering it as collateral for a loan and protecting the loan proceeds with your other liquid assets in the FAPT. Creditors are going to be very discouraged attempting to levy on an asset that may have substantial value, but has very little equity because of a loan encumbrance or lien.

Generally speaking, the establishment of the offshore asset protection plan will be tax neutral. The FAPT will either be a US grantor trust or a foreign grantor trust with a US grantor for US income tax purposes. It will be necessary to file various forms with the Internal Revenue Service in either case, but these forms will only demonstrate that the taxpayer is a responsible and law abiding citizen.

One very typical arrangement with respect to a possible offshore strategy would be for the client to establish the offshore asset protection trust utilizing an offshore trustee. The trust would then set up an offshore limited liability company which would be entirely owned by the offshore trust. You could be the manager of the LLC with direct signature control over bank accounts and securities accounts. In the event of a crisis, you would obviously resign as a manager and appoint a trusted friend, relative or a management company. There are modular variations to this strategy that can be worked out with your professional advisors.

The proliferation of plaintiff lawsuits and the expanding concept of liability that has become second nature in our court system have engendered much concern and anxiety about the preservation of wealth in the United States. Many professionals like doctors and lawyers as well as business owners, corporate executives, real estate developers and investors, contractors and others operate in an environment of high risk. Many such people lack confidence that they will be treated fairly by the US legal system and are desirous of reducing their financial profile and eliminating their liability potential. For these individuals, the offshore planning alternative may very well be the best planning device available for maximum comfort and piece of mind.
