Asset Protection

The goal of asset protection planning is to change your creditor's economic analysis. One must analyze timing, the creditor, and the specific assets under consideration. Asset protection is not about hiding assets. It doesn't work. They will be found in a debtor examination and perjuring oneself is not an option.

You have the right to defend your assets against attackers. Vehicles, homes, bank accounts and more can potentially be lost. There are many examples of individuals being sued for the banal to the bizarre. Just google weird lawsuits.

These cost less than insurance and provide better protection. Each provide unique benefits which may or may not be for you:

Plan Ahead

Taking steps after a lawsuit or an event occurs, such as transferring title to assets, may be seen as a transparent effort to avoid a judgment. It can therefore be nullified. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Go through legal channels no matter what you do. Moving money in the wrong ways to the wrong places might put your belongings out of the reach of your creditors AND you, but the long arm of the IRS is sure to follow.
