About Don Pendleton
Don Pendleton is the founder of Protect Wealth and one of the nation's leading advisers on lawsuit protection, tax reduction, and estate planning. He has co-authored five textbooks along with numerous articles on the subject, and he is a featured presenter at seminars and workshops throughout the year. Over more than 25 years, Protect Wealth has trained tens of thousands of business owners, real estate investors, and professionals in the structures that keep assets out of reach of courts, probate, and unnecessary tax.
His entry into the field was not academic. Don was managing a recreation park in Southern California when a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting struck a young woman there. As the manager on duty, he was sued. He had four children at home and spent three years inside a legal system he knew nothing about. He went on to serve as vice president of legal at multiple companies and built his work around a single aim: teach ordinary people the strategies wealthy families already use. His books and trainings have helped clients save millions of dollars.
On The Daily Mastermind, Don joined George Wright III for a walk through the four financial tornadoes and the structures that stop them. They covered the difference between a tax preparer and a tax planner, why probate and estate taxes are optional if you act in time, how a single-member LLC left a widow fighting over a four-million-dollar business, and what every adult over 18 should have on file. Don's argument throughout: protection is not something you add after you build wealth. It is part of how you build it.
