Build Protection Before It Is Tested
Asset protection is not a stack of LLCs. It is the coordinated use of entities, insurance, agreements, operating practices and legal documents to reduce avoidable risk before a problem occurs.
What This Stage Means
Stage 6 focuses on alignment: ownership, entity records, tax reporting, insurance and key legal documents should tell the same story before a claim, dispute or ownership transition tests the structure. Landmark's role is to identify tax and financial coordination issues and help the investor work with the appropriate licensed professionals.
Signs This Stage Needs Attention
- 1Property ownership, entity records, bank accounts and tax reporting are not fully consistent with one another.
- 2Property, liability, umbrella or business insurance has not been reviewed as the portfolio or business has grown.
- 3Operating agreements, leases, contracts or ownership records are missing, outdated or unsigned.
- 4The investor is changing entity structure, expanding the portfolio or increasing complexity without a coordinated review among tax, legal and insurance professionals.
What Landmark Provides at Stage 6
Entity and tax-reporting alignment
Review whether ownership, entity records and tax reporting are consistent and identify coordination issues that need to be addressed.
Document inventory
Create a clear inventory of entities, ownership records, agreements, key documents and review dates.
Coordination with attorneys
Coordinate tax and financial issues with qualified attorneys when legal documents, entity structure or ownership matters require legal advice.
Coordination with insurance professionals
Coordinate relevant financial and ownership information with qualified insurance professionals so coverage questions can be reviewed in context.
Professional Coordination at Stage 6
Landmark helps identify tax and financial coordination issues and works with qualified attorneys and insurance professionals. Landmark does not provide legal or insurance advice and does not promise that any structure eliminates risk.
Compact Coordination Process
Inventory
Identify entities, ownership, accounts, insurance and key documents.
Alignment Review
Compare entity records, tax reporting and ownership information for inconsistencies.
Advisor Coordination
Route legal and insurance questions to appropriately licensed professionals with the relevant tax and financial context.
Gap Review
Document unresolved items, responsibilities and next steps for periodic review.
A growing investor has multiple entities, properties and advisors, but records and responsibilities are inconsistent. Stage 6 creates a clearer inventory and coordination process so tax reporting, ownership, documents and professional roles can be reviewed before a problem exposes the gaps.
