And he explores how that value is coming under pressure from terrorist threats, macroeconomic crisis, pandemics, autocratic populism, and climate change.

You spent a lifetime building your wealth. In California, a single lawsuit can take it. A car accident, an employee claim, a personal guarantee, a tenant injury, a business lawsuit, a government investigation: one adverse judgment can reach nearly everything you own, including your home, your practice, your business, your rentals, and your savings. It does not have to. Asset protection is lawful, practical, and far more effective than most people, and most lawyers, believe.

Two out of three American adults don't have an estate plan. The ones who do? Most of their plans are outdated, unfunded, or missing the documents that actually matter when a crisis hits. If you've been putting off your estate plan—because the legal jargon is overwhelming, the attorney quotes are staggering, or you simply don't know where to start—you're not alone. And it's not your fault. Most estate planning books either drown you in four hundred pages of theory or hand you a stack of generic forms and wish you luck. You finish them knowing more but having done nothing.
