I will literally die on a hill defending what I believe the constitution says and means by its words.

Being named as a defendant is always a drain on time and resources even if it's a covered event by your insurance.

You might not be avoiding liability... and instead  you are just creating more defendants. 

Whether it’s through proper insurance coverage, entity structuring, or estate planning tools, asset protection helps you manage risk and defend your financial security.When used together, these strategies create a powerful defense and offense for your financial life.

PS not defending this person - I like to hear all sides.

I guess I'll be the realtor here who defends our job ...  

Adam Schiff (California) - best known for dramatizing Trump’s Ukraine call during his first term, misidentifying evidence in texts, overstating “collusion” findings, and defending a FISA memo later found to contain false statements - is under criminal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud, according to a Trump administration source According to the FHFA, Schiff and his wife purchased a home in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003, financing it with a $610,000 Fannie Mae-backed loan by declaring it their primary residence.

But if you can’t prove it later, they’ll disallow the deduction and hit you with back taxes, interest, and possibly penalties.If you ever have to defend REPS in an audit, here’s the kind of proof the IRS likes to see:- Contemporaneous time logs (spreadsheet, Toggl, Google Calendar, etc.) — entered as you go, not all at once months later.- Property-specific records - each entry tied to a specific address or asset.- Detailed activity descriptions - avoid vague phrases; list actual tasks performed.- Supporting documents - emails, text messages, receipts, invoices, contracts, before/after photos that match your time entries.- Consistent year-round activity - not just crammed into a couple of months; spread across the year to show ongoing material participation. 

Ask them for the lease they have that they've defended in court. 2.

It can take longer if the tenants requests a public defender, but usually not a tremendous delay.
