Otherwise, your intention to bring on free labor because you cannot afford to pay someone will expose you to audit by the Labor Commissioner’s office or EDD, and/or liability to any intern who worked for you for up to four years after they leave your employ.   Learn more on this episode of the Bottled Business Sense Show.

They like the cost and time savings, plus the added control over assets that a living trust can provide. However, if you have signed your living trust document but haven’t changed titles and beneficiary designations, you will not avoid probate. Your living trust can only control the assets you put into it.  Learn the important details on this week’s show.

But if you’ve realized that life insurance is often the most cost effective answer to several very important problems, you have probably also heard talk of an irrevocable life insurance trust. If you’re the owner of a policy and the insured person under the policy, the proceeds will be part of your taxable estate. An ILIT (pronounced EYE-let) is viewed by some as a time-tested and IRS approved way to avoid this scenario and protect those proceeds from the estate tax.

The answer depends largely on the structure of your business. If you did not form a specific business entity and you are the only owner of the business, you are probably a sole proprietor. A sole proprietorship is not a separate legal entity -- which means you are personally responsible for all business debts and when you file for bankruptcy, you are really filing a personal bankruptcy. If your business was formed as a partnership, corporation, or limited liability company (LLC), whether you are liable for your company’s debts depends on other factors.

It becomes necessary therefore to make it more difficult and more expensive for a creditor to reach those assets, while enjoyment and the distancing of a debtor from the ownership and control of those assets, are nevertheless realized.
