Question

If I get married to a small business owner of an inc company, are my assets at risk?

Answer 1

No an "inc" company is a corporation. Stockholders are not normally held responsible for corporate liabilities.  Just make sure that your husband hasn't guaranteed any liabilities personally.  

Answer 2

They shouldn't be.  Make sure there is a clear legal line drawn between the company and personal assets.  Make sure the company has liability insurance.

Answer 3

No, normally your assets will be at risk if they are co-owned together with your husband...... but you can make a list of your current asset and file it with an attorney just in case your husbands business runs into problems.

But there are risks involved consult an attorney it will worth the 50 dollars of consultation fee.

Answer 4

a corporation shields its stockholders from lawsuits with the company - you would only be marrying a stockholder - he may be the manager or president too, but that is irrelevant to your concerns
