A recurring liability I address in asset-protection planning for doctors surrounds the sale or purchase of a medical practice.

Most conflict and losses that arise from the purchase of a medical practice result from a combination of mismatched expectations between buyer and seller, a lapse in due diligence by either party, or the failure of one of the parties to understand or honor the terms of the sale. These issues often expose sellers to costly litigation that consumes their newfound liquidity and buyers to the loss of their investment and income stream.
