Dear Friend,

You’ve worked your whole life to build something.
A home. A savings account. Maybe a business. A legacy.

And if you’re like most people, you assume that when you’re gone, those assets will go to the people you love… safe and sound.

But here’s the truth no one likes to talk about:
Your heirs could lose everything you leave them.

Not because they’re bad people.
But because life happens. And the world doesn’t care about your intentions.

Inheritance Can Be a Gift… or a Curse

Picture this:

You leave your daughter a large inheritance in your Will.
She’s thrilled.
So is her soon-to-be ex-husband, who drags her into court and demands half.
Because what you meant to be hers is now marital property.

Or maybe you leave a lump sum to your son.
Only he gets into a car accident, gets sued, and the court freezes his assets—including everything you left him.

Or worse:
They blow it.
Because they were too young… too naïve… or too easily influenced by bad advice, bad friends, or bad decisions.

Inheritances don’t come with guarantees. But with a real estate plan, they can come with protection.

The Wrong Plan Leaves the Door Wide Open

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
A basic Will—by itself—does nothing to protect your heirs from outside threats.
It simply says who gets what.

That’s like locking your front door and leaving the windows wide open.

Creditors. Lawsuits. Ex-spouses. Financial predators.
They’re all real. And they can take a big bite out of what you meant for your family.

You Don’t Need a Fortune to Protect What You Have

Asset protection isn’t just for millionaires with offshore accounts.
At Bascom Law, we help ordinary families create smart, strategic estate plans that make it hard—if not impossible—for the wrong people to get their hands on your hard-earned money.

We can help you:

  • Set up trusts that protect your children from lawsuits and divorce
  • Delay distributions until heirs reach a responsible age
  • Appoint a Trustee to oversee and manage funds wisely
  • Keep certain assets out of probate and shielded from public view
  • Make sure an inheritance is a blessing—not a burden

What Would You Do to Protect Your Kids?

If your children or grandchildren were standing in front of a train, you wouldn’t hesitate to pull them out of the way.

But every day, families hand over inheritances with no safety net—no shield—no plan for what comes next.

If your heirs are still figuring out life…
If they’re married, divorced, remarried…
If they’re struggling with addiction, money management, or maturity…
They need more than money. They need you to protect them.

You don’t need to control their lives.
But you can create guardrails.
You can make sure what you leave behind actually helps them instead of causing problems.
