Camouflaging your assets is the first step in implementing any assets protection plan. Remember, if a federal judge can find an asset, he can seize it. Conversely, what he can't find, or doesn't know about, he can't touch.
A client, who we'll call Gino, made his money in the "adults only" business. He's close to seventy years old and lives in a beautiful, but modest home overlooking the ocean in Santa Barbara, California. The house is tastefully appointed and stuffed with mementos he has collected during his extensive travels. He rents the home from a Bahamian corporation and sends his monthly rent payments to the offshore bank account of the landlord company. He drives a leased Lexus (not a new one) and routinely eats lunch at Brophy's restaurant in the marina (cioppino, no cheese) where he always pays with cash. His favorite activity is golf. He carries a respectable sixteen handicap and hates slow play. So, he plays anytime he wants as a guest of a corporate member of a private country club. He always has "two inches" of cash in his left pocket. See, Gino loves to play gin rummy at a buck a point with anyone foolish enough to think he might be an absentminded old man. He files all of his tax returns religiously and tips service people generously. Everyone knows his first name. If you won a lawsuit against Gino, you might be able to seize his golf clubs, but that's about it. He carries an offshore debit card in a corporate name that works in any ATM machine. Financially speaking, Gino is invisible. Psychologically speaking, Gino never worries about lawyers, or the IRS, or much of anything else for that matter.
Personal privacy, especially in financial matters, although constitutionally protected, is routinely violated by collection agencies, private investigators, and the government, especially with the advent of the Internet. The following records are routinely accessed about a debtor's assets and personal life:
- Voter registration records
- Worker's compensation information
- Sheriff and county prosecutor records
- Real estate recording records
- Fictitious business name records
- Professional licensing boards
- Corporate registration records
- Marriage license records
- Property tax records
- Utility and credit card bills
- Litigation, divorce, and bankruptcy files
- Probate records
- Medical records
- Telephone records

If your name appears in any one of these records, it could be linked to the remainder of the records.

The tools available to any lawyer or private investigator in searching for your assets are formidable. If you are at risk from a potential lawsuit, a divorce, or a government agency, the first question will be, "Where are your assets?" There are only two responses to this question and the first one goes something like this: "I have assets but you can't get them. See, I hired a building of brutally expensive, silk-stocking lawyers who have assured me that my assets are safely beyond the reach of any of my creditors. I have trusts for the benefits of my kids, a Family Limited Partnership in which I have no control, my house is in my wife's name, and the rest of my assets are protected by a corporation of which I am the president."
Once your assets are found, you've got assume that any judge will use his power as only a man in full can do. Oh, sure, your expensive lawyers will delay their tee time long enough to tell you, "Don't worry, we'll win on appeal." In the meantime, all of your assets are frozen, pending the outcome of the appeal, and don't forget to send $10,000 to your lawyer "to get things started."
The second possible response to the question on the location of your assets goes like this: "I don't have any assets." This is like a perfect murder, the questioner may have a dead body, but in no way is it connected to you.
