What Is Wealth Protection?
At Horacio Sosa, P.A., our Wealth Protection practice helps high-earning families, business owners, professionals, and investors strategically structure, safeguard, and optimize their growing assets from the moment wealth begins to build. Wealth protection is not traditional estate planning—instead, it is a proactive, tax-smart, and comprehensive approach to preserving what you earn, minimizing financial leakage, and creating a durable foundation for multi-generational wealth. From income-tax strategies and asset structuring to long-term protection and legacy planning, we ensure your wealth works for you throughout your life—and for future generations.
A good strategy includes:
Preserving income and assets during your lifetime.
Reducing exposure to taxes, liability, and risk.
Structuring wealth for efficiency, growth, and long-term stability.
Creating systems that ensure wealth is protected—not just earned.
