Deep dives

LLC Ownership and Legal Protections

Putting a property in an LLC may provide some legal protections, but it is not as foolproof as commonly believed. When a property is held in an LLC, there is a risk that a court could pierce the corporate veil, allowing creditors access to personal assets if negligence is proven. Many homeowners mistakenly think that an LLC fully protects their personal wealth from lawsuits related to the property. However, maintaining proper liability insurance can offer substantial protection without the complexities associated with LLC ownership.
