Wealth Exposed

Congratulations on becoming a person of means. Not to rain on your parade, but, while your wealth certainly can make life easier for you and your loved ones, it also can make it much more complicated. That's because real wealth brings exposure to a variety of all-too-real personal and professional liabilities, including many about which you may be completely unaware. Any one of those risks could, at any time, seriously undermine or even destroy all that you have created and rob you and your family of the fortune you've worked so hard to create. You owe it to yourself and your dependents to learn all that you can about those risks and what you can do to insulate yourself against them-before you're struck by a natural or man-made disaster, fall victim to fraud, theft, or other malicious acts, or find yourself at the business end of a lawsuit.
