Personal Asset Structuring
Protect Yourself From The Unknown
Who owns what asset and what that asset is worth is great when you are bragging to your friends. However, did you realise that the number of court cases, in all areas of law, filed each year is on the increase?
Even though you think you may never have a court case against you, you never know what is around the corner. Accordingly, it is more imperative in this day and age to protect yourself from the unknown. That is the very reason that we have insurance policies.
Personal asset structuring involves organizing your assets in a way that provides legal protection and minimizes the risk of loss in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as lawsuits, bankruptcy, or divorce.
Piercing the Corporate Veil
If you are a Director of a company, even though the company is limited by shares, there are more and more laws and contracts that can pierce the corporate veil such as Director Penalty Notices, Personal Guarantees etc. So why allow someone else to control the outcome of a situation because you are scared of losing everything?
Piercing the corporate veil refers to a legal concept where courts may hold company directors personally liable for the company’s debts or obligations, effectively disregarding the limited liability protection typically provided by a corporate structure.
What would you have done differently or how would you have handled a situation differently if you had known that you had nothing to lose?
