>so if you have 100k in the bank and someone falls on your property and sues, you can withdrawal all the money? I don't think it works that way. If you lose it will show intent to hide money. Yep. Been there. Done that. I killed someone with a vehicle and was sued over it. While the lawsuit proceeded, I was under no obligation to or take special measure to record how I disposed of my property while the lawsuit was pending. That's because I (or anyone else) can fill out a form saying "PaulPauper owes me twelve gajillion dollars because he caused me harm in some way." You can pretty much sue over anything. But filing a lawsuit doesn't force the defendant to hand over control of their finances/resources. Yes, in some criminal cases assets can be frozen by prosecutors. But in a civil lawsuit, there's none of that -- as someone claiming you owe them money isn't the same as actually having a judgement against you requiring that you pay. I tell you what, go ahead and sue me. Pick a reason. It doesn't really matter. As long as you utilize the correct format and pay for the filing that's it. Lawsuit filed. The idea that a civil lawsuit deprives you of the right to dispose of your property as you see fit is risible at best.
