Legal Methods of Lawsuit Protection


 A Free Web Book By Vernon K. Jacobs
Published by Research Press, Inc. -- All rights reserved

  Note: This is an index to selected articles from back issues of Global  Asset Protection Strategies, which represents the quivalent of a book on the subject of legal methods of protecting your assets from predatory lawsuits and from the lawsuit lottery. I have not had time to put chapter links into each of the following pages and you will have to use the back key on your browser to return to this index page when you have completed a "chapter". A few of the chapters are only a few printed pages but most are about 8 pages in length. There are over 200 printed pages (8.5 x 11) in this free "Web book". Like insurance, asset protection is something you must do before someone is ready to sue you. Unlike insurance, the methods of asset protection are constantly changing. I therefore hope you will consider a subscription to my economical email monthly newsletter to keep you up to date on the constant changes in the following methods of protecting your asets from the litigation epidemic.
