Asset Protection Planning in Litigious Times

February 21, 2023 by Brandon McGee

Asset protection is becoming an increasingly important issue in our litigious society. All of us have exposure to potential creditors. You may have exposure due to the assets you own.

You may have exposure due to your employment. Perhaps you are a physician whose patient has a bad outcome and whose family believes you to be … [Read more...] about Asset Protection Planning in Litigious Times

Protecting Your Assets

August 31, 2022 by Brandon McGee

Part of estate planning is keeping your estate and assets from being diminished by taxes, but also unforeseen expenses, liabilities, etc.  The increased litigiousness of American society has made asset protection more important than ever.  Here are a few of the basics. First, assets from others that are given to you can be shielded from creditors.  So, if your parents are giving you money, it should be placed in a trust with someone else as trustee and with discretion to pay or not … [Read more...] about Protecting Your Assets

What’s Important in Your Life?

March 30, 2022 by Brandon McGee

Facing difficulties in life sharpens our focus. When tragedy strikes, we recognize what’s important in our lives: Our family, our friends, and our values. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the famous 19th century American poet, said “Into each life some rain must fall.” We have all had “rain” in our lives. Our tragedies typically are quite personal: the death of someone close to us, a life-threatening illness, or a violent crime. Sometimes our tragedies are shared by countless others: … [Read more...] about What’s Important in Your Life?

The 28 year old actor died of an accidental overdose from the interaction of prescription medications. Heath perhaps was best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in the 2005 film “Brokeback Mountain.” Heath Ledger died with a Will prepared in 2003 which left everything to his parents and siblings. After the preparation … [Read more...] about The Prime of Life

The Impact of Dying Without an Estate Plan

March 11, 2021 by Brandon McGee

Compliments of the McGee Law Firm, Attorney Brandon McGee Most of us expect that tomorrow will be another day like any other. But, as Euripides said, “no one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.” In fact thousands of people die in the United States every single day.
