You’ve worked hard your entire life, and saved for a comfortable future. But what happens if life takes an unexpected turn? What will happen to the assets you have worked so hard to gain? Will they go to your intended loved ones as your legacy … or will your savings and assets be used to pay for long-term medical care or nursing home costs? And for business owners, how can you protect your assets from increasingly common frivolous lawsuits in order to protect your assets both now and for your children and grandchildren?

What is Asset Protection?

An Asset Protection plan protects your assets from creditors during your lifetime, as well as protects the assets you leave to your loved ones.

Why Do I Need An Asset Protection Plan?

In today’s litigious environment, asset protection and related asset protection planning is absolutely critical in order to ensure that your hard-earned wealth is kept well beyond the reach of potential creditors. Asset protection begins with a strategy and is followed by the development of an effective plan that balances the underlying goal of securing your assets with that of ensuring that your access and the keys to your wealth, always remain available to you. Use of advanced estate planning techniques such as various types of Medicaid Qualifying Trusts, Limited Liability Companies, Family Limited Partnerships, Special IRA Trusts, Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts, Qualified Personal Residence Trusts, Domestic Asset Protection Trusts, Foreign Asset Protection Trusts and Cook Island Trusts are but a few of the strategies deployed in order to provide you and your family with real asset protection. The key to successfully protecting your assets is to have a plan in place before it is needed – so that your money is protected before it is too late.
