Asset Protection Planning Stories
Asset protection attorney Darol Tuttle joins Suzanne. Darol shared a couple of stories. "I grew up poor, a farm boy. When I was three years old, I watched my grandfather die right in front of me. I can remember that vividly. Our family went on a different course from that day on. Our grandmother lived with us — she died two years ago, she lived another 54 years alone, relying on family members. And so, for me, the silver tsunami is biased, it's not gender neutral, it adversely affects women. The great thing is, the law has solutions." BoomX.bi...

Introducing Asset Protection Planning
Attorney Darol Tuttle joins Suzanne to talk about going beyond estate planning in asset management. Darol explains the differences between estate planning and asset protection planning. Estate planning is about handing the transfer of your wealth to heirs after you've passed on. Asset protection focuses on protecting your assets while you're still alive, to finance your retirement throughout your life, and to fund the retirement of your spouse. You want specifically to defend against the three main threats, which are high unreimbursed medical expenses, unnecessary taxation, and family mismanagement/mistakes. A great example to illustrate: Washington is...

How to Guarantee Income with Rental Properties
An investment is a lump sum deposit in exchange for income in the future. A business differs from investment because a business generates immediate income for its employees and dividends for its owners. The operation of a business is more time and labor-intensive than an investment. What if you could have an investment that generated immediate income without demanding time and labor? In this episode, Darol interviews Dustin Heiner, who explains how to do just that.

Why I gave Infinite Banking the Thumbs Up
Infinite Banking refers to a method of cash management using a carefully designed whole life insurance policy. A whole life policy distributes cash to the beneficiary when the insured dies. The insured, usually the policy owner, does not directly benefit for an obvious reason - they are dead. This begs a question - is there a reason to store cash in a whole life policy other than a tax-free death benefit? Proponents of Infinite Banking would answer "yes." In addition to a tax-free death benefit, all whole life policies also store and pay dividends or accrued interest...

When to use a TOD transfer and how it can screw up everything
Estate planning overemphasizes the transfer of asset title to a qualified heir when the asset owner has died. Estate transfer has value but not to the asset owner while they are alive.

How to Set Up and Properly Fund a Retirement Account Trust
Coordinating retirement accounts, e.g., an Individual Retirement Account, a 401(k), Self-employed Pension, etc., with your overall estate plan is difficult. Retirement accounts, also known as “qualified accounts”, must be handled with care. Generally, if the account owner designates his or her estate as the primary beneficiary, the non-natural person rule is triggered, and the entire account balance is treated as paid out as income. This causes the distribution of the entire account as income and is taxed at a higher or the highest tax rate possible. Other complications include the fact that retirement accounts are included in the taxa...

The Three Benefits of a Trust
Trusts are used for personal planning and hold personal assets. Business entities such as corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies hold business assets. Many families own a rental property but fail to view the rental house as a business asset because they do not view themselves as operating a business. This is unfortunate because business entities offer many advantages, which Darol discusses in this episode. Trusts are similar to limited liability companies because the trust is able to protect assets if drafted correctly. Learn the two most important benefits of trusts that hold your family's wealth.

What a rooster, a beach and earthquakes taught me about resilience, what is important and investing
What would you do if, suddenly, you could not buy food. And you were afraid to sleep inside your home. Your neighbors decided to leave. A man who lived a block away committed suicide? How would you plan for the future if you just lost your job? A swarm is what geologists call the grouping of earthquakes that have hit Guanica, Puerto Rico. Swarm is as good a name as any to describe over a thousand earthquakes in such a small area, many above 5.0 and at least two above 6.0. While there has not been a "big one", a single...

How to Make Decisions About Wealth Quickly and Accurately
What does decision making have to do with the Laws of Money or Lessons of Life for that matter? Everything. Effective decision making is a skill. Some people have honed this skill, most have not. As people age, they become more ensconced in their own particular cognitive biases. What is a cognitive bias, you ask? A cognitive bias is a systemic pattern of deviation from rational thinking. Mr. Wikipedia lists over one-hundred biases. Google that. It is fascinating that there are so many identifiable ways the human brain will fight you in the struggle to make the correct...

Why Money Is Not Important
Law and money share a common characteristic. Neither can be found in the material world. A dollar bill can be touched. However, a one dollar is exactly the same as a one hundred dollar bill except for the number 1 and a picture of Washington as compared to the number 100 and a picture of Franklin on it. The hundred dollar bill represents a much higher degree of some unspoken value but is physically the same as the item that represents far less. What exactly is money? Listen to the answer to this question as posed to an elite wealth attorney, as inter...

My Dad Died Today
Six hours after I learned that my father had passed away, I recorded this episode. I recorded it in one, uninterrupted session and it is unedited. I then published it to my website. The next morning, I felt ill at ease. My feelings were not grief about my father's death. As you will soon realize, my father and I were not close. Rather, I worried that I was about to be hit by a bolt of lightning from Zeus for an unlawful or inappropriately disrespectful speech about the dead. As the day wore on and I had not been...

I decided to close my law firm. I am still a lawyer. I will still help people understand and leverage the law. I do not own and operate a law firm and will not practice law as I once did.
