This treatise introduced the concept of "trust estates as business companies." The 2nd edition is a significant update to the 1912 edition, which was considered a pioneering work in the field.

Written in clear, conversational English, this book can help anyone understand how a living trust avoids the complications, expenses, and delays of probate at times of incapacity and death.

The internet has changed forever the way anybody can access your personal and business information. This makes it easy for anyone to breach your privacy online and, as a consequence, place your valuable assets at risk. Likewise, traditional business structures such as corporations and LLCs also fail the privacy test because your Secretary of State registrations are visible online for anyone to see. In THE UNCORPORATION, asset privacy expert James Billings reveals over 21 years of experience and research with elite clients on the use of anonymous business trusts for safety in a sensible, easy to understand language. This is the first time ever a concise, user-friendly guide on the use of business trusts is available to the public. Within these pages you will see why using a business trust rather than a state sponsored entity is the only way to anonymize title to your high value assets. Are you concerned about predatory lawsuits, hackers or nosy people looking for your business assets? Do you want freedom from government regulation? Then this book is for you.
