THE CASTLE KEEP ASSET PROTECTION STRATEGIES GARRETT SUTTON
But what if your California entity was originally formed in a low­cost state such as Wyoming ? That is Sammy ’ s money­saving strategy . The developer entity is formed in Wyoming and qualified to do business in California . Qualifying in California is required since the house is being constructed in California . But once the house is sold , the entity no longer conducts any California business . It is free to stop paying California fees and only has to pay the minimal Wyoming fees of $ 50 per year . Assuming the same $ 125 annual resident agent fee , the cost of maintaining a Wyoming entity for 10 years is only $ 1,750 versus $ 9,250 for California . By forming the entity in Wyoming , qualifying in California for only as long as necessary and then keeping the entity alive in Wyoming until the ten­year statute of limitations runs out , Sammy is able to affordably protect himself and his other assets .
Sammy ’ s three strategies for remodels , holdings , and spec home developments serve him well and he has prospered without any further devastating litigation . His modern day castle keep are properly formed and properly maintained LLCs and LPs .
