Some occupations are particularly vulnerable, especially those of the business or professional person who is unable to limit personal and professional liability. and who may be held professionally liable through no direct negligence or shortcoming of his or her own. For many people including for example those in business, those guaranteeing a child’s business debts, or those contemplating a new relationship who have assets they wish to ensure goes to children from an earlier relationship, there are distinct disadvantages to personal ownership, as this makes them vulnerable to claimants or predators, merely by virtue of asset ownership.
