Frequently Asked Questions
Asset protection isn't exactly dinner party conversation. But it should be simple to understand. We've compiled the questions we hear most often — the ones that keep people up at night, or at least make them scroll through Google at 2 AM. Here's what you actually need to know.
We help you shield your stuff from creditors, lawsuits, and other financial threats. Think of it like insurance, except smarter. We structure your assets using legal strategies — trusts, LLCs, business entities — so they're harder to grab. It's not hiding money (that's illegal). It's about smart placement. We'll review your situation and build a plan that actually fits your life, not some cookie-cutter template.
Pricing depends entirely on what you've got and how complicated your situation is. A straightforward plan might run €1,500 to €3,500. Complex ones? We're talking €5,000 to €12,000 or more. We charge flat fees, not hourly rates — you'll know exactly what you're paying upfront. No surprises. No hidden stuff. We also offer payment plans for clients who need flexibility.
Initial consultation to finished plan? Usually 4 to 8 weeks. First, we dig into your finances and understand what you're protecting (30 minutes). Then we research and draft your strategy (3-4 weeks). After that, we implement the legal structures and get everything filed (1-2 weeks). You'll stay in the loop the entire time. No radio silence.
We'd be liars if we promised that. What we do guarantee is rock-solid strategy based on Austrian and international law. A well-structured plan makes your assets significantly harder to reach. Courts respect proper legal structures. But nothing's 100% bulletproof — the law changes, circumstances shift. We build the strongest possible defense with what's legal and ethical. That's our actual guarantee.
We're based in Klagenfurt and serve clients throughout Austria. We also work with expats and international clients who've got assets here or are moving to Austria. Whether you're in Salzburg, Vienna, or Vorarlberg, we can help. Have property abroad too? We coordinate with partners across Europe to make sure everything's aligned. Geography isn't really a problem for us anymore.
Call us at +43 0 6798 2632 or email [email protected]. Your first chat is free — no obligation. Bring your financial details: real estate, investments, business ownership, debts, anything significant. Don't worry about being organized. We'll sort through it. The more you tell us upfront, the sharper our strategy will be.
We don't ghost you. Annual check-ins are standard. We review whether your plan still works (tax laws change, your situation changes, sometimes the world just shifts). If something needs updating, we handle it. Think of us as your ongoing advisor, not just someone who sets it up and disappears. Most clients stick with us for years.
Completely legal. Completely legitimate. We structure everything within Austrian and EU law. The difference between protection and fraud comes down to intent and timing. Hiding assets during a lawsuit? That's illegal. Building a solid structure now while things are calm? That's smart. We keep everything above board. Your conscience will sleep better at night, guaranteed.
