In Response To: Seeking: Info on plans and liability (Jim Farrelly)

Bottom line answer is he needs to talk to a lawyer. Having been involved in a lawsuit and having a close friend that is a lawyer I learned a lot about legalities during the suit. The law is tricky and what you think is not always the way it is. There are many little facts that can bite you on the butt. Nothing against anyone here, but they are the last people I want to take legal advice from!

And, liability is not necessary the main issue. Protecting his assets is. If someone sues him it can cost him a small fortune in legal bills to defend himself, even if did nothing wrong and gets it tossed out of court. As my lawyer pointed out to me, what if a child gets killed?
