I've read in several personal finance books that assets can be protected using multiple techniques and can be layered for additional protection. Apparently, the more you have in assets the bigger target you become to a predator lawyer. However, these authors claim that assets can be protected even if there is a good possibility of having claimants at the door. The point is not to have control of any assets. I'm thinking that once an event occurs on a particular date, any movementsof assets after that date are suspect/disallowed. So, how can asset protection lawyers claim they can get around this? Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
