HOW MUCH ARE THE
LEGAL FEES?

We offer a fixed-fee structure for all asset protection plans comprising two payments: an Initial Fee and an Annual Fee.

This fee, paid on your plan's anniversary each year, ensures your asset protection structure stays compliant, maintained, and supported. It also includes ongoing legal advice at no additional cost.
