Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier talks about the litigious nature of our society and encourages asset protection planning for everyone, not just millionaires.

DECATUR, GA, April 19, 2018: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “Not Considering Asset Protection Is Risky Business.” Ms. Collier says that there are asset protection plans for every level of wealth and that it’s a must for everyone.

Collier writes, “We live in the US which is where 4.4% of the world’s population lives, along with 80% of the world’s lawyers, and where 96% of the world’s lawsuits are filed.” She continues adding, “Exposing your family to danger is not necessarily on your list of things to do. In fact, we typically do everything in our power to protect our families and minimize exposing them to danger. But, only the wealthiest people ever consider asset protection.” She emphasizes, “ And, that needs to change.”

Collier points out that, “Not having an asset protection plan in place is equivalent to exposing yourself and your family to the whims of the litigious. And that is without question — risky business.”

“You’ve worked hard to accumulate what you have,” Collier says, “and you want to make certain that some unforeseen event will not come along wipe out everything. And, rest assured, asset protection plans are not just for millionaires. There are varying levels of asset protection planning depending on how much wealth you have accumulated including equity in your home, vehicles, bank accounts, investments or any kind of property or business holdings.”

According to Collier, “If you own a car and have a standard liability insurance policy, understand that that is a single layer of protection. Should you be at fault in an accident that exceeds your coverage limits, everything you own is exposed.” She continues adding, “The same goes with business liability and being a homeowner. Think of asset protection as proactive protection for what you have accumulated.”
