A Guide to Asset Protection: How to Keep What's Legally Yours

I have now read several books on asset protection and this one is by far the best. This author appears to be very knowledgeable, and is not out to sell anything, like some others. Highly recommend.

This book is aimed at someone who has some assets to protect but doesn't know the first thing about it. It does an admirable job in explaining in general how creditors get to your assets, along with clear explanations of the principal mechanisms to protect assets. Obviously you should get an attorney who knows this field if you are serious about the whole thing, but this book gives you some background to help you talk to and work with this attorney. Beware of books and websites selling you the Next Greatest Offshore Asset Protection Scheme. This book is much more general and much more credible.

This book is a primer on the topic of asset protection and offers readers a general overview of both domestic and foreign protection vehicles.One should not buy this book believing it is a practical manual on the topic of estate planning or asset protection. The book is remarkably easy to read and filled with hypotheticals based on a case sample, but it lacks the depth and detail required to be a good primary reference.

As an attorney who considers himself pretty well versed in the content of this book, I read the book with an intent to review an area of the law I had not practiced in a while. The book was a pleasant surprise to me. The explanations given by Mr. Klueger were accurate and well written in terms anyone would understand, even an old salt lawyer like me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the nuts & bolts of asset protection strategies, even before the reader goes to his lawyer to discuss his own concerns. The form for a family limited partnership in the back of the book is handy and good reading as an example. I only wish Mr. Klueger had included some additional forms for the various stratagies mentioned in the book. Overall, I'd give it a "well done!"
