MIAMI, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Jonathan Curshen is a consultant in the area of international asset protection. He is a member of ITPA (International Tax Planners Association) and APOI (Asia Pacific Offshore Institute). He specializes in offshore asset management, global investing, worldwide banking, and investment strategy and counseling. It is his business to know what companies need to know in order to utilize the valuable tool of offshore asset management and protection.
"When it comes to international accounting practices, holding companies, investment counselors... it all comes down to this: Trust. International investing is no place to guess about the safety of your money and the security of your investments," states Jonathan Curshen.
Offshore wealth protection shields your assets from danger. This means protection against direct predatory threats, such as lawsuits, governmental seizures, divorce, the IRS and others who may try to seize your assets.
The broader definition includes wealth erosion through economic hazards: inflation, deflation, poor investments and taxes. Protection against economic hazards is the role of the investment advisor. The primary mission of an offshore protection agency is to protect their clients against direct predators.
The most common attack on assets is lawsuits. Frivolous lawsuits are commonplace, and white-collar thieves disguised as litigants frequently extort payment through courts and juries. They know that the wealthy are the best litigation targets because the wealthy will usually pay rather than fight -- it's easier and cheaper. You can't always avoid lawsuits, but you can protect yourself against a bad outcome.
A good asset-protection program discourages lawsuits because you no longer have "deep pockets" that attract prospective litigants. Second, the program is designed to convince any litigant that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to collect even if the lawsuit succeeds. If you do get sued, you gain the leverage to settle on more favorable terms: since the plaintiff can't collect even if he sues and wins, there is tremendous pressure to settle early or for less -- or not sue at all.
