An Iron-Clad System For Keeping Your Assets Safe
When the King of Rock and Roll died in August 1977, his estate was valued at more than $10 million.
Unfortunately, Elvis Presley’s will wound up going through probate, and it took three years for the lawyers to work things out in court.
Finally, mercifully, the court ruled that the estate should pass to his only child, Lisa Marie.
But Lisa Marie Presley didn’t get the $10 million. Between taxes and legal fees, Elvis’s estate was reduced to just $3 million.
That’s right. Seventy percent went straight to the taxman and the lawyers, while Elvis’ daughter was left with just 30 cents on the dollar.
Now I’d like to tell you the story of another king… the Oil King, H.L. Hunt.
His story ends differently.
Just prior to his death in 1974, Hunt’s net worth was estimated at $2 billion.
Far more than the King of Rock and Roll… but that’s not what’s important here…
Rather, the point I want to make for you is that this other king? He was far better prepared.
Hunt had carefully distributed his assets into all sorts of legal structures—funds, trusts, life insurance…
After his death, the only asset that could be linked to H.L. Hunt directly was a pick-up truck worth $2,000—hardly worthy of a courtroom battle.
Meaning Hunt’s fortune remained intact. His heirs received everything he wanted them to.
This tale of two kings reflects your two estate-planning options:
Put a plan in place to preserve it… or end up giving much of it away.
The big-picture moral of this story is that, when you do the work to put a plan in place, only you have control over your wealth.
You—not the government, creditors, litigants, or the banks—can decide what happens to your assets, now and in the future.
Estate planning, safe-haven investing, legal tax avoidance, asset protection, foreign residencies, second passports, and wealth creation…
These are the tools that give you the power to guarantee yourself the financial future you want.
Now, 50 years ago, these same strategies that the Oil King used to grow and protect his fortune were expensive and hard for the average investor to access.
But not anymore. The Internet has made everything easier and the costs far more realistic for all of us.
