Asset Protection
Asset protection is extremely important in today’s litigious society. A car accident, professional liability claim, medical crisis, injured tenant, divorce and other lawsuits can expose your assets to judgment creditors. Various planning strategies can be utilized to legally protect your assets from future creditors.
The increased frequency of elder fraud and exploitation also necessitates proper advanced planning, to ensure that your assets are protected in the event of cognitive decline or incapacity.
