Frequently Asked Questions – General Asset Protection
What is asset protection?
Asset protection is a set of legal and financial strategies designed to keep your wealth safe from lawsuits, creditors, or unexpected liabilities. It can include trusts, LLCs, exemptions, and other lawful tools.
When should I start asset protection planning?
The best time is before any lawsuit or financial threat appears. Courts often view last-minute transfers as fraudulent. Starting early keeps everything legitimate and defensible.
Is asset protection legal?
Yes — when done properly. It’s about structuring your assets within the limits of the law to reduce risk exposure, not to hide assets or avoid lawful debts.
Can asset protection help business owners?
Absolutely. By separating personal and business assets, you limit your personal liability for business debts, lawsuits, or judgments.
What happens if I already have a pending lawsuit?
Options become narrower but not impossible. Paul can still help restructure certain assets ethically to reduce exposure within the legal boundaries of Florida law.
FAQs – About Paul J. Monsanto’s Services
Do you combine estate planning with asset protection?
Yes. Paul integrates asset protection with wills, trusts, and tax planning to create complete financial security for individuals and families.
What makes Paul different from other asset protection attorneys in Tampa?
Few attorneys combine a Duke Law education, CFA-level financial understanding, and 15+ years of both litigation and estate planning experience. Paul brings clarity and foresight that others can’t.
How long does the process take?
It depends on your circumstances. Some clients have protection strategies in place within days; others require layered structures involving multiple entities or trusts.
Do you work with clients outside Tampa?
Yes. While based in Tampa and Wesley Chapel, Paul also serves clients across Hillsborough, Pasco, and surrounding counties.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring an overview of your assets — real estate, investments, business interests, and liabilities. The first meeting is about understanding your exposure, not selling you documents.
