Ideas for Safeguarding Your Wealth in 2020

You’ve worked hard to earn what’s yours. Thoughtful decisions and smart planning have helped you find financial stability, and now it’s time to go the extra mile to ensure your assets will stay secure for years to come. 

You probably already have a good start, but make sure you’re keeping these five steps in mind if you want to further safeguard your (and your family’s) wealth throughout 2020 and beyond:

Minimize Risk

Evaluating risk is a big part of securing your financial future. Having safe assets that will increase in value, or at the very least retain their current appraisal, can help protect against market fluctuations. 

Insure All Assets

If someone tries to take legal action against you, you’ll want to be sure your wealth — including your full net worth — is covered by the appropriate insurance policies. If you have any business holdings, consider obtaining liability insurance for those, as well.

Review Your Life Insurance Policy

Are your loved ones set up for success? Do you have a clear plan in place? Buying into an adequate life insurance policy will provide for your family well after you’re gone.

Set Up a Trust

Similarly, take the necessary steps to ensure your hard-earned success is doled out appropriately. Establishing a trust helps make sure your money is provided to your family and relatives in accordance with your wishes.

Eliminate Liability

If you rent property or engage in any business partnerships, your personal assets can be at risk in the event that you or your business partner are sued. Establishing a limited liability company (or similar legal vehicle) can help shield your money from angry plaintiffs.
