How To Protect Your Real Estate Assets During COVID-19 (Webinar)

Some key insights from this webinar:

• Legal entities can create asset protection for real estate investments and provide litigation deterrence. Insurance is not a litigation deterrence—it actually incentivizes the litigants to sue for insurance money.
  
• Investors must take action to create legal protection before they are sued. A legal entity that is created after the initiation of a legal action will not provide protection for that suit due the Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act.
  
• Even if landlords have created asset protection, they must still take the appropriate actions to main the corporate veil and keep their entity in compliance. Each legal entity should have its own bank account to avoid commingling funds.
• Having proper asset protection is a competitive advantage. No team can win without an effective offense and defense.
