THE COMMON GAP IN INVESTOR'S EDUCATION
The missing step
THE RIGHT PAPERWORK!
Most don’t understand that a trust is a contract. What’s in that contract is critical.
You've spent years learning how to acquire assets. You've learned financing. You've learned real estate. You've learned business. You've learned how to create income.
But when was the last time someone taught you how ownership itself should be structured?
One system. Four powerful outcomes.
Maximum Asset Shield isn't a trust seminar. It's a system of strategies — where trusts and related structures each play a different role inside one coherent plan. Lou has identified at least 30 benefits trusts provide that no other entity can. These are the four that matter most.
Separate what you own from what can be taken.
Learn how ownership itself can be structured so a nuisance claim doesn't land on everything you've built. As Lou puts it: if they can't find it, they can't take it.
Structure that makes you money, not just safety.
Trusts open real estate strategies most investors never use — Subject-To offers, keeping existing financing in place, partnerships, borrowing and lending, and pulling equity out to redeploy.
Your name off the public record.
Public ownership records are the map an opportunistic attorney follows. Learn how to reduce what is publicly visible about what you own.
Your family shouldn't wait years.
LLCs, corporations and limited partnerships don't avoid probate. Learn how proper planning creates a clearer path for passing on what you've built — without the cost, delay and aggravation.
The Maximum Asset Shield concept
Your wealth
Protect it. Control it. Keep it private. Preserve it. Pass it on.
What you'll discover at MAS LIVE
What you'll understand
What a trust actually is, how land trusts and personal property trusts differ, and where each one belongs.
Why it matters
Lou has identified at least 30 benefits trusts offer that no other entity provides — and the workshop covers them all.
What you'll understand
How to structure yourself, your businesses and your assets so they aren't sitting in plain sight.

Your heirs shouldn't wait years for assets and accounts in order to keep living.
What you'll understand
How to get sellers to say yes to a Subject-To offer — and how to prevent them from trying to reclaim the property afterward.

More deals get done when the seller's real objection is answered by the structure itself.
What you'll understand
The one legal way to keep existing financing in place without triggering the due-on-sale clause.

Why it matters
What you keep after tax is what actually compounds.
What you'll understand
How to make sure your estate goes to your heirs rather than to the government or an attorney's pocket.
Why it matters

Before MAS LIVE
After MAS LIVE
Years ago a change in the law took away a major benefit for real estate investors. It hit Lou's business directly, so he went into the law itself looking for a way through. What he found was trusts.
That discovery turned into years of study and research into an entity available to everyone and used by very few. Lou was surprised how few attorneys genuinely understood how trusts work for an investor — so he built the tools and the training himself.
Lou has successfully used and taught others to use trusts since 1986. He has licensees of his system in all 50 states. Once a year he makes the time to teach this material in person.

What attendees say
"This the best event I've been to yet."
Learning how to structure Trust's versus an LLC for asset protection is invaluable! Stop throwing your money away on other gurus. Nobody has the complete package that Lou Brown has. Continuing education, coaching, top notch staff…Rock Solid!
"Everyone who has a family should be here."
Thinking you know what you are doing and actually learning what you should know are 2 different things. This event has truly changed my life in more ways than one. This event should be a mandatory requirement for life! Your program is truly a turn key system and your teaching style is easy to follow and comprehend.
"MAS Event is Worth a Lifetime of Hard Work!"
The event is incredible informative, it's scary to think how a lawsuit can rob one of everything they have worked for. This class shows how to drastically reduce the probability. So, it's worth almost the value of a lifetime of hard work and acquiring assets.
"I've learned more at this event than my attorney even knows about trusts and he's an estate planner."
Makes me wonder what else I don't know. What is Lou doing/does he know that he hasn't shared yet!
"When you've spent all the time and effort to acquire properties, you can't afford to leave them unprotected."
MAS teaches you the best and most cost effective system for preserving your portfolio for generations. The value of this seminar? Priceless.
"It's not only less expensive than other gurus' training, but it's a cohesive training. Lou Brown is not only a capitalist (God bless him!), but he is a capitalist with a heart. Lou and his system are the real deal!"
"Lou Brown is a terrific coach and instructor. He is a true thought leader and keeps the information very practical."
"Not only learning to protect our assets, but to protect our loved ones and very creative ways to handle money thru trusts. Thank you!"
"Been waiting for 6 months to learn how to do trusts, short sale and subject to paperwork. Thanks Lou, Janice, Helga, Robin, David, and staff. You are the best!!"
"I am all smiles and it's with firm confidence."
"The event brings the aspect of trusts together and allows us to go home and put the concepts to work!"

Live, in-person training taught personally by Lou — not a stand-in speaker.

Maximum Asset Shield does not replace your attorney or CPA. It gives you the understanding to work with them intelligently — and to know what to ask for.

Timing is structural, not emotional
You don't buy homeowners insurance after the fire. You don't buy auto insurance after the accident.
As Lou puts it: many of the things taught in the workshop will effectively provide asset protection before a claim or liability arises, but few things will afterwards. What you do after a claim arises could be undone by fraudulent transfer law — and the point at which a claim arises is usually much earlier than a layman thinks. It is typically well before a demand letter or a process server shows up at the door.
The best time to build your shield is while everything is going right.
Once a year
Lou only teaches this training once a year.
Seats are limited
The workshop is hands-on, which caps the room.
Enrollment deadline
A registration deadline applies — confirm the current date with the office.
The real reason you built it
You built it for freedom. For options. For your family. For the ability to say yes. For the ability to say no. For the people who come after you. For a life that isn't controlled by money.
So what are you doing to protect it?

Questions
Real estate investors, landlords, business owners and families who own assets worth protecting. As Lou says: if you are not using trusts to buy and sell all of your properties, or you have assets that are not protected, this training is for you.
No. The material covers how ownership should be structured before and as you acquire — and Lou's position is that the best time to protect an asset was the day you bought it. That said, attendees who already own assets get the most out of the hands-on portion.
Bring the deed or the title to the asset you are looking to protect. Lou's team will physically show you how to structure that protection on the spot.
Yes — this is true hands-on training. You'll work on the assets you bring, and you leave with the Maximum Asset Shield Manual and the MAS Auto Fill software so you can keep creating structures afterward.
Lou Brown personally teaches Maximum Asset Shield, every day. There is no stand-in speaker. William R. Noll, Esquire, CPA joins as bonus speaker for the tax strategy session.
Four days of live training with Lou, the Maximum Asset Shield Manual with templates and forms, the MAS Auto Fill software, hands-on implementation, live Q&A, consultations with Lou's trained staff, and a special tax savings bonus session on Sunday.
Lou's Better Than 100% Money Back Guarantee: attend, and if at the end of the first day you haven't learned at least 10 ways to cover the cost of the event, see a Street Smart® staff member for a full refund. You keep the bonuses as a gift (except the auto-fill forms access), and Lou will give you $50 to change your flight.

No. Maximum Asset Shield is educational training. It is not individualized legal, tax, investment or accounting advice, and it is not a substitute for a qualified attorney or CPA. The goal is for you to understand the architecture well enough to work intelligently with your own professionals.
