Predatory Lending
( 9 items )
Ohio's protection against predatory lending, after being woefully
inadequate for years, will become much more powerful on January 1,
2007. There are now multiple routes, both public and private, to
uncover, prevent, and deter predatory lending practices. While these
protections will undoubtedly impose some costs on ethical brokers and
lenders, at least in the short run, they will help insure that the most
vulnerable citizens of the state do not fall victim to practices that
often deprive them of their only significant financial asset. In
addition, the ethical members of the lending profession will no longer
have to compete with those with lower ethical standards, nor have their
reputations sullied by them. It should be a ''win-win'' for both
borrowers and honest members of the lending industry.

Estate Planning and Asset Protection
( 1 items )
An estate is the total property, real and personal, owned by an individual prior to distribution, generally through a trust or will. Real property is real estate and personal property includes everything else, for example cars, household items, and bank accounts. Estate planning distributes the real and personal property to an individual's heirs.
Asset
protection planning involves figuring out and applying a lawful series
of techniques that protect your assets from claims of future creditors.
The techniques are designed to deter potential creditors from going
after you, and frustrate them if they do, generally by making it
difficult or impossible for future creditors to grab hold of your
assets or collect judgments against you.
