Video three: How APT works, proof that APT works.
Hello, Rob Lambert here and I'm glad you're back with me again.
This is the third video in my series of video trainings. If you missed any of the previous
videos, you can click the tabs above me to watch them and catch up.
Remember, just for watching I'm going to put your email address in a drawing to win a complete,
iron-clad asset protection plan that I will personally create for you.
Okay, to quickly recap what we covered so far, I've show you how complexity and high
What I hope to do over the next couple of minutes is show you what a perfect Asset protection
system looks like, and reveal how this process combines rock solid law with strictures that
I've learned to use over 30 years in my career of protecting people from financial attack.
I'm going to give you the characteristics of a typical plan, what you always need to
consider no matter who does it and I'm going to do it quickly and in a way that you can
take with you and remember for the rest of your life.
As I've said before, there are hundreds of different kinds of products being touted as
asset protection tools. The lawyers and the capitalists that are making a killing each
year off of the countless other strategies will probably want to hunt me down and eliminate
me for revealing this information, because when enough people know about it, the folks
getting rich selling overpriced and/or ineffective protection strategies) will suffer the impact
on their wallets -- but here goes.
What I'm going to share with you right now is the blueprint, so you can be protected
for life. And isn't that what we all want, to be free from worry that someone or some
organization can come in at any moment and rob us of our livelihood?
So, what does the perfect plan look like? Well a perfect asset protection plan has four
characteristics. I want you to think of this acronym 'STOP'
- because asset protection is designed to stop would be creditors. Almost every solid
plan will have these characteristics. I'll give you a brief overview and then get
into more detail, so if anything seems confusing at first, do not get hung up on it because
I will bring it all together for you in a very clear and concise way.
Alright, starting with the "S" in STOP, the first characteristic of a perfect asset protection
plan is that it allows you to stay in control. You should do your plan when you're not in
trouble; normally when you're not under the gun you will always be in a 100% control.
The only time when you might have to share control is if you're really in trouble, and
that sharing is done with a protector or an off shore lawyer who is on accounts with you.
Again, I'll explain this completely in a few moments.
The second characteristic is the "T"...you should trust nobody, assume every single person
you deal with is a crook; don't wait for them to prove it. The world is filled with unscrupulous
people who want to steal money. Obviously, you're going to do your best to avoid them
if you can but even the savviest person can be duped from time to time.
So, never construct a plan where you're forced to trust somebody UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO TRUST
THEM. That's one of my rules and if you follow it you will not get hurt.
The third letter is "O" and that stands for the characteristic "off balance sheet." That's
another way of saying own nothing. The first rule of asset protection is what you do not
own cannot be taken from you. Almost all asset protection functions by taking protected assets
of your balance sheet. John D. Rockefeller said: "Own Nothing, Control Everything" If
you don't own anything, or it "appears" that you do not own anything, no lawyer will sue
you unless someone is willing to pay his outrageous hourly fees. If, on the other hand, the lawyer
basis. And the final letter is "P" and that characteristic
is Protective Legislation. This is achieved by using a country with laws in place that
provide you with protection. Now, you don't always start in places that have protective
legislation. Reasons for this would be to save money or keep your asset protection structures
very simple. But when you are in trouble you will always want to be in one of the several
jurisdictions that offer protective legislation. Okay so now that you know the STOP acronym,
the next piece is to understand the four components of a perfect asset protection plan.
The first one is an asset protection trust. Trusts are a key element and they are a business
entity that takes assets off of your balance sheet. Now a trust is a complex entity, like
a person, but a very easy way to understand a trust is to think of it as a magic bucket.
Picture a bucket into which you put assets. The bucket expands to accommodate whatever
you fill it with. Once your assets are in that bucket, it becomes the new owner. But,
because it is a bucket, it can't make decisions for you, it's a bucket after all. So you still
control everything it holds, but technically you don't own them anymore.
The next step is to take your bucket and put it in a country where you do not reside. Let's
call this "going offshore." This is where the real magic of that bucket comes in. Once
that bucket is placed "offshore" in a different country, it can be protected by rules that
cannot be broken. Much like force field or the law of gravity, even if you leave that
bucket in the care of someone else, no one can reach into it and remove anything without
some very specific things happening. A. You removing the force field to allow them
to reach into the bucket. B. You being attacked and having them move
the entire bucket for you The second component of most asset protection
plans is an LLC; it's not always necessary but it's the easiest way to stay in control
when you have an offshore trust (bucket) sitting in the care of an off shore location. I'll
soon show
you why in a moment. The third component will be an offshore account...
The fourth component in some cases will be a domestic family loaded partnership. This
is only necessary for US citizens. If you are not a US Citizen, you will just do the
first three. Now what do they look like?
Let's start with the bucket, the "TRUST." This is a typical trust: it has a settlor,
that's you. You will almost always have an offshore trust
company; the location of this trust company will determine the laws that will apply to
you. You'll almost always have a protector, that
can be you or an offshore lawyer or an offshore protector. There are companies that specialize
in this and I'm going to tell you who the best ones are very soon.
There will be beneficiaries, and even classes of beneficiaries. This will always include
you and any other people that you want to benefit.
But there is a variable in this arrangement. This trust company is not perfect. Although
they are there to protect and guard your bucket, they can be like the Character Anakin Skywalker
in George Lucas' famous series Star Wars. He started out good, pure and noble. With
only the best intentions, but something happened and he was influenced by the dark side. Then
he became the villainous Darth Vader. If the trust company is influenced, they have the
ability to break through the magic of your bucket and steal these assets.
But the good news is, you don't have to trust, the trust company. There is a fix.
You simply put an offshore LLC in place. The offshore LLC can either be in the same jurisdiction
as the trust or any place that has offshore LLCs or IBCs function as LLCs.
Every jurisdiction is different, this entity can be passed through, it's normally a disregarded
entity when it's a single person but; you can also have it treated as a corporation.
You can opt to have it treated as a partnership, you have great deal of flexibility, and indeed
under this LLC you can put hundreds of other entities. You can have corporations, which
might be controlled for in corporations, you can have partnerships; you can have any offshore
entity that you want all owned under this offshore LLC or under this trust.
It's a great way to keep you, in control of the assets because when you put the LLC in
place you no longer use the asset protection trust to protect these assets. Assets are
held down here, owned by the APT but where are the asset's controls?
Control happens to be with this little guy who happens to be you. You are in effect the
manager of the offshore LLC. And this is the best way to keep you completely
in control of an offshore investment; Now, what you normally do with this offshore LLC
is simple. You add and offshore bank account. It does
not have to be in the jurisdiction of the APT or the LLC. And as many of you know, or
those of you who have been listening to me have had it drummed into your head.
Most banks are stopping accepting accounts from US citizens. There are many banks: Barkley's...
just almost any bank you name is no longer wanting US citizens and it's in large part
because of the legislation that becomes effective in 2013 forcing these banks to be transparent
to the IRS and basically account to the IRS for your deposits and if the bank is not transparent
there is a 30% tax, that may be challenged and that may be thrown out.
But by putting this LLC in place you overcome those objections. You'll find that the same
banks who won't take you when you're trying to go there as an individual or as a trustee
of your own trust, somehow seem to be able to be comfortable that, that's enough removal
that they will accept the account; at least right now, it's working well.
With an LLC, you have control; you've reestablished yourself as control. Not by virtue of your
status as settlor; but by virtue of your status as being the manager of this LLC and when
this LLC goes and opens bank accounts etcetera, or engages in investments or buys stocks and
bonds in any currency it wants, the management and controls of those assets is with this
person; the offshore manager of the LLC. Now that's all most people will ever need.
The only other thing you could ever need is... BOOM! A domestic family limited partnership.
Notice this partnership is right here in the United States.
This little line is the line between safe, which is offshore and dangerous which is on
shore; the US is less protected then anything offshore. Why?
Because no country in the world recognizes US judgments and anything over here is virtually
impossible for a US creditor to without spending a huge amount of money and even then it's
doubtful that they could be successful. This is a typical situation and note with the assets
held in the domestic family limited partnership we still keep you the settlor over here in
You have all the flexibility and freedom as a normal human being investing offshore; you
can do insurance type investing you can even form an insurance company and eliminate tax
on your interest and dividends and capital gains. All legally and with full disclosure
of the government, all that can be done in a simple little structure and this little
structure will work for 95 to 98% of all people who need asset protection.
Now, you can see the four parts of a perfect asset protection plan; remember this and just
remember it doesn't have to be complicated, it doesn't have to be a life changing event.
This is a process and a choice for you to sleep well at night and no longer be vulnerable
to people who want to take you apart. Remember the four STOP characteristics. Stay
in control, trust no one, off your balance sheet, so you no longer own it and make sure
that if you're really getting in trouble that you're availing yourself of with numerous
countries that have protective legislation. These are key elements for anybody that wants
to protect themselves in the long run. If you do this you can sleep well at night,
you will no longer be vulnerable, you can take control of your own life and you can
stop the professional takers from being able to abuse you. You never have to live in fear
anymore and that's what I'm trying to give you; is the tools to stop risk being beat
up and to take control of your own destiny. It is time for every person who's part of
my site to take control of their life and to stop these people and to know that they
can fight. You never ever have to be vulnerable again; don't let them get away with beating
you up and I'm here to help you make sure that you can stand on your own two feet, hold
your head up high and stop these guys from hurting you.
The ultimate protection provided by your plan depends greatly on the degree to which you
can successfully attack the trust assets. Now let me share with you two quick stories
One last thing I want to mention is your asset plan should be transparent to you
you do with your day. You should not be spending your time secretly hiding things, or have
and easy. Also, your asset protection plan should also integrate seamlessly with your
or struggle with a guilty conscious and constant monitoring.
