Your question: What asset protection strategies are essential for practicing physicians?

Answer:

Physicians carry a uniquely high risk of litigation, whether from malpractice claims or business-related exposure. Even with insurance, your personal assets can be vulnerable without proper structuring.
We design layered asset protection strategies that may include liability insurance audits, proper titling (e.g., tenancy by entirety for married couples), irrevocable trusts, and LLCs for rental or side business income. Our approach is proactive and defensiveโ€”integrating with your estate planning team to help shield personal and professional assets from future claims.
