Episode notes
Asset Protection ≠ Tax Evasion
- Offshore asset protection is distinct from offshore tax avoidance and must be reported to the IRS.
- Harris emphasizes trusts are tax-neutral vehicles and requires proper IRS reporting, not tax evasion.
Who Needs Protection Most
- Most lawsuits target individuals with under $2M, so asset protection often matters more for mid‑net‑worth people.
- A large judgment hits a $2M person far harder than someone worth $200M, driving demand for trusts in the $1–20M range.
Maintain Financing Flexibility
- Keep trusts flexible: you can remove assets temporarily to obtain financing and then return them to the trust.
- Use the trust's flexibility to preserve lending options while maintaining long-term protection.
