"Lowering the asset profile of individuals has long been a goal of Corporate and Estate Planning. While in the past this was done primarily to discourage frivolous lawsuits, it has become much more important today. With identity theft, phishing, pharming, and similar criminal schemes being rampant, it makes sense to keep valuable assets out one’s personal name or from being reported under one’s social insurance number or other identifier."
