There was a pretty big dissent from a Justice published a short while ago which addressed your very concerns. He was in agreement with you. I will see if I can find it again for you.
If you are in the US there are alot of remedies available to "scare off". You need to research UCC1's. It is a paramont claim which supercedes all other claims. In the US it is not 'objective theory' like other jurisdictions. Objective theory is when the justice systems asks You for information and what did you intend, and how you feel, etc. In the US it is "subjective theory" which is all that matters it what is on paper. What is on a contract. All of US law deals in commerce. Commerce is contracts, whether verbal, written, or constructive.
Do the UCC-1 research and you will have at your grasp the remedy which establishes: "only an idiot without a lawyer would ever attempt to sue you", whether you did wrong or not.
Lawsuits boil down to this and only this. What can we sue you for. If you are homeless and broke NO one will sue you. This is why the key to the whole game is retaining POWER, but forfeiting OWNERSHIP. This is called being 'Judgement Proof' On paper you must appear 'homeless and broke' The first thing a lawyer looks for is insurance policies on the person being sued, second assets in US banking systems, and third.. assets in market (real estate, stocks, securities)
The question that should be asked at this point is: "Okay, so I toss all my 'stuff' into a corporation. Wont they just sue the corporation then?"
Yes that is what they would then do. However, if recalled from earlier posts, one would have assets and monies and revenue vehicles all separated in different structures. Now, because you are in the US, you also have at your finger tips UCC-1's which would deter any lawyer, unless of course corporation really did perform an adverse action in which 'big money' is at stake.
In US, steer clear of ALL trusts. The
IRS and the commercial Judges pierce them real quick. The trust will work against the leity and the mom and pop who may want to sue you or a angry ex-wife. But if any agency comes knocking, they will "disregard" the trust in a heart beat. This is general advice because 90% "operate" the trust incorrectly.
Piercing the "Corporate Veil" For example, you can have a US LLC ice cream shop. If you never conveyed the shop property to the LLC but let the LLC use the property on returns and then mixed and matched spending records, you used the LLC
debit card to buy a new refrigerator for the home, and used your debit card to buy some supplies at office max while in town, BAAM! Grade A "alter-ego" evidence was created. The LLC is "poor" it is only an ice cream shop. You are "wealthy" and just good at starting businesses here and there to rake in
dividends. Tomorrow someone is going to be poisoned by the ice cream. They happen to know of your wealth. In the US system of law, because of poor business practices mentioned previouslly establishing "alter-ego" legal facts, that plaintiff will now with good lawyer sue not only the LLC but you because you never really used the LLC as an "LLC" so therefore it is simply a disregarded entity and you and LLC should be treated one and same.
This has happened time and time again. But have no fear. Just as easy as it is to "get away" with anything in US law (yes, the 5K per hour lawyer knows how to get you out of a murder with 50 witnesses) it is just as easy to protect oneself from the chess game of "Law"
Maintain the 3 structure policy (does not include
privacy solutions) and use UCC-1's and you are now more judgement proof then most
millionaires in the US
And just like you astutely stated. These are all "insights". You are not my client.
