Asset Protection
Asset protection and estate planning are two tools designed to help you preserve your possessions for future needs or goals by making them unavailable to creditors. Many people associate asset protection with scandalous, immoral, or dishonest techniques. What those people don’t know is that there are many legal and ethical means of ensuring your assets never fall into the wrong hands.
These techniques may include:
- tax reduction strategies
- financial gifts
- business formations
- certain types of wills and trusts (see below)
Asset protection is a complex area of estate planning that requires specific knowledge and experience in a variety of different laws. There is a very distinct difference between legal asset protection planning and criminal actions meant to defraud the government or creditors. This is why it is essential to have one of our highly qualified attorneys guide you through the process.
