#1 Amazon Best Seller

1 in 3 physicians are named in a lawsuit over the course of their career. Are you worried that you could lose everything?

Medicine, dentistry, and other high-income professions are immensely rewarding but carry legal risks that few Americans face. No doctor ever wants to harm a patient or anyone else, but many lie awake at night worried that one mistake could cause them to lose everything they have worked for decades to achieve.

Advisors, agents, and attorneys often exploit this fear, pushing unnecessary services, policies or trusts that are expensive, and may not even work as intended. Dr. Jim Dahle, a practicing Emergency Physician and Founder of The White Coat Investor, wrote The White Coat Investor’s Guide to Asset Protection to give you the clarity you need without the scare tactics.

You will learn:

• What happens when you are sued
• How to reduce the risk of being named in a lawsuit
• Why insurance will be your first and most important line of defense
• How often doctors actually lose personal assets in a lawsuit
• Cheap, easy, and effective asset protection techniques
• When you might want to consider trusts and other complex asset protection techniques
• Why asset protection law is state specific
• The asset protection laws of your state
• How to quit worrying about losing everything

This book will help you to put an effective asset protection plan into place and finally stop worrying about losing it all. Then you will be able to put your focus back where it should be—on your patients and doing what is right for them.

About this title

About the Author

James M. Dahle, MD, FACEP, FAAEM is a practicing emergency physician and the founder of The White Coat Investor, now the most widely read, physician-specific personal finance and investing website in the world. He became interested in personal finance and investing after becoming disillusioned with the way he was treated by several unscrupulous financial professionals and in an effort to help his fellow physicians and other high-income professionals avoid the same errors, started The White Coat Investor website in 2011. 
 
Dr. Dahle is now a best-selling author of four books and host of two weekly podcasts and an annual CME-eligible Physician Wellness & Financial Literacy Conference.
 
He is convinced that increasing the financial security of doctors enables them to be better partners, parents, and doctors along with reducing burnout, decreasing suicide risk, and improving patient care. The principles he teaches are neither complicated nor risky, but the process of becoming wealthy as a physician is by no means automatic.
 
Jim Dahle is a proud husband, father of four children and spends his free time adventuring around the world. If you can't find him, he is probably hiding in the mountains or desert of his home state of Utah.
