Military investor with new LLC. Help!

Jonathan Mahan
  • Florida, AL
Posted

Hey everyone,

I've got 4 properties in different states and just formed an LLC in FL (my state of legal residence). However, I'm also active duty military and expect to travel. I have always done my own taxes (TurboTax) and I have an umbrella policy, but the LLC made more sense now that I recently divorced, and I need to protect my assets from my ex unfortunately.

Any advice? I'll take it all. A CPA would be helpful! Someone with military experience? It gets tricky.

Orlando, Florida

LLC won't give you any protection from your ex. You need a proper Divorce Decree. A CPA Is not what you need, you need a divorce attorney. All the best!
