TWELVE STEPS TO FINANCIAL PRIVACY – By Matt Mullhofer
- Never release your social security number. Only release your social security number when it is absolutely necessary says Matt Mullhofer.
- Use a corporation or another entity for major transactions.
- Avoid writing checks because they leave an extensive paper trail.
- According to Matt Mullhofer when investing offshore, ensure that you are in compliance with all laws and reporting requirements.
- Only disclose what is necessary to financial institutions.
- Maximize the bearer transactions that are not reported under your name.
- Use financial professionals that will keep your financial information confidential. Attorneys are bound to keep all of your information confidential.
- Always have your accountant work through your lawyer to insure confidentiality told Matt Mullhofer.
- Use a post office box or drop box for mail correspondence.
- Avoid using safety deposit boxes, use private vaults instead.
- Prepare a living trust to bequeath your property. This will avoid the high cost associated with probate as well as any loss of privacy.
- Arrange your investments so that you can provide the least possible amount of financial information.
