In this video I'm going to discuss how to protect assets other than real estate.
Protecting your personal assets means protecting yourself from deranged individuals who go on to the DMV and transfer title over to themselves. This is an actual story that happened years ago to one of our legal secretaries.
In order to gain protection, you have to get the asset out of your name. In addition, the best tool to utilize for this type of protection is what I refer to as a personal property trust. Watch this video as I show you step by step how to achieve this specific type of asset protection.
What you need to know about how protect your personal assets are covered in this video.
Questions or requests for a video topic are always welcome!

I found this online What assets Cannot be placed in a trust? The assets you cannot put into a trust include the following: Medical savings accounts (MSAs) Health savings accounts (HSAs) Retirement assets: 403(b)s, 401(k)s, IRAs. Any assets that are held outside of the United States. Cash. Vehicles.

@paulmulryan9624 2 года назад

You have some awesome content, glad I discovered your channel. I have a question about asset protection. about 10 years ago I was researching commercial law (UCC specifically) and started deep diving into filing UCC 1 and UCC 3 statements, which as you probably know is a superior lean (UCC1) and a amendment or assignment (UCC3) If I created Two LLCs (Wyoming) one was to conduct business through and create other disregarded LLCs for other ventures real estate etc, named Alpha The other to serve as a holding company but actually created via a separate Wyoming LLC. named Omega. If I wanted a second layer of protection for all my assets in Alpha would the following scenario work well: Alpha receives a loan from Omega. Omega and Alpha create and sign a security agreement which places all of Alphas property, company autos etc as collateral and creates a UCC 1 to pair with the Security Agreement. Both Security Agreement and UCC are fully executed and recorded with the proper county recorder (UCC dept) and or Secretary of State. With the UCC 1 registered as a superior lean against this property would that keep even judgments etc from acquiring that property?

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Correct. I have a few videos on this srategy.

@ionsochirca9244 2 года назад

Love this video. Wonder if you could also write a lien against the property ( Strip away equity) for insurance in case the creditor is really persistent?

What could be done to protect personal assets (cash/invested funds/bonds) from claims brought through a construction payment and performance bond claim?

@adibc55 2 года назад

Very educational, thanks! Could you take it a step further & insulate your assets further by creating a WY LLC & holding the trusts within? Would that further protect & insulate assets? Would you consider that bulletproof or are there loopholes in that scenario as well for the determined creditor to exploit? Lastly, are assets held in a Revocable Living Trust protected the same as they would be in a Personal Property Trust? Thanks!

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Placing the PPT in an LLC would not change the analysis. If the asset is a personal asset held indirectly in a business entity this would most likely not hold up against an aggressive creditor. Like the PPT, a living trust does not offer any asset protection for the assets held within hence, we use LLCs and other entities to hold our investment/business assets and place these entities into our living trust.

Hello Clint!!!! I love the content!!! Please keep it Coming!! Question..... Would it be okay for my corporation to own my WY LLC? And have the rental properties under the WY LLC? Thank You

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Typically you do not want to hold real estate in a corporation because of tax issues surrounding moving the property out of the company or additional taxes on the sale of property held for more than one year. The strategy you describe is often used for flipping not buy and hold.

@SportsActionNetwork 2 года назад

Great video Clint but how insurance companies view this type trust once you make the switch as a business? Will your insurance rates go up?

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Not in my experience. It is a grantor trust.

@headlibrarian1996 8 месяцев назад

What about insurance? Business or non-owned insurance on a car is expensive and of limited utility. I'm not sure if that type of insurance is compatible with personal umbrella policies. Also, will lenders or leasing companies play ball and title your car in the name of a trust, or are you stuck only buying cars for cash? Then there's the dealer themselves, who usually title the cars when you buy it from them. They may not want to play ball either.

@ClintCoons 7 месяцев назад

@XavierIsraelMatamoros Год назад

Clint, as always thanks for the informative contect, but I’m confused. Let me see if I get this straight: I place personal assets into a Trust, not an LLC because there is no business purpose and that would defeat the asset protection purpose of the LLC? OTOH, I put my taxable brokerage account into an LLC, because the business purpose is investments, even though they are personal to me? Also, for the personal assets, such as cars, checking/savings accounts, the trustee should be a Wyoming LLC if my objective is anonymity?

@ClintCoons Год назад

You got it up to the cars etc. These are personal and should be in your name or a privacy trust. The satins/brokerage are investments and would be placed in an LLC.

Excellent video as usual. Clint, you said that an LLC could be the trustee of a property trust. I thought that an LLC can be the beneficiary of a trust but not the trustee unless it is specifically approved by the state (a very difficult). Isn't the trustee supposed to be a natural person? Thanks.

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Ahh that would depend on wether or not the trustee is serving as a professional trust company as typically defined by a company hat receives compensation for its services. Second, the person who has a claim in this situation is you I.e., you could sue your own LLC if you are not satisfied with its filing to be a trustee. :)

@Jason.Jodway 2 года назад

Hello Clint. A thought that always comes to my mind but is never mentioned in regards to grantor trusts: Do they cloud the purpose of charging order protection by allowing the trust to be taken which then effectively takes the LLC held by it?

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

Charging order protections only come with LLCs and deal with situations where you are sued. If you are the beneficiary of a trust then the trust is at risk. that is why we typically place land trusts inside of LLCs.

@Jason.Jodway 2 года назад

@@ClintCoons I am asking this question because an LLC counts as personal property and can be put into this type of trust, but if it actuals ruins part of the point of the LLC that is a problem.

@ClintCoons 2 года назад

@@Jason.Jodway Placing a trust in an LLC will not impair the protection of a charging order sole remedy. Does this make sense. The charging applies to whomever owns the interest.

@Jason.Jodway 2 года назад

@@ClintCoons I am saying the LLC being held by the trust and not the trust being held by the LLC. The trust beneficiary is the person facing a judgment and the LLC is a trust asset. I am mainly thinking living trust here, but also just general anonymity power of using grantor trusts.

Can a Trust hold a auto insurance? In Nevada from what I understand the name on the cars title has to be same as the name on the in the insurance Policy. So if I have a LCC as a benefit holder of the trust, do I then need a business Auto insurance? And have the trust as one of the insured parties? Hope I make sense, in short have you heard of insurance issues showing up if you put a car in one of these trusts? Thank you for your input.

A PPT is a revocable grantor trust similar to a living trust. You could put these assets into a living trust but your living trust typically has your name in its title.

Have a question regarding asset protection. What about protecting my crypto investments? For example Crypto is the asset class and new and sometimes harmful regulation is being created. Most of the entities drafting regulation know very little if anything about the technology behind digital assets and the regulation can destroy the market on and off ramps. Is it possible to open an LLC in Wyoming and purchase digital assets through the LLC...well let me back up. After creating the LLC, them create another disregarded LLC though the 1st LLC, purchase the digital assets through the disregarded LLC and then dissolve the disregarded LLC? Or would it be possible to purchase the digital assets through the disregarded LLC. provide a lone from the 1st LLC to the Dis LLC securing the loan with a perfected UCC 1 against the digital assets as collateral?
