Why can't I simply title my investments - cash, stocks, etc. - to a corporation?

We wouldn't recommend a corporation to protect your personal assets. As we say, if you directly own the corporate shares, your shares can be claimed by your creditors. That's why you must layer your protection using a trust, limited partnership or some other protective entity to own the corporate shares. You may also have holding company tax consequences when you title your personal investments to a corporation. The limited partnership or LLC is the far better alternative to a corporation to protect your personal assets.
