What Is Asset Protection?

Asset protection is a way to keep your assets safe from lawsuits or creditors.

It involves legally arranging your assets so they are hard for others to claim.

This is things like money, property, and investments.

Our Auburn asset protection lawyers will:

set up trusts
use legal entities like LLCs for businesses
set up insurance for extra protection

The idea is to protect your stuff while following the law.

It’s often planned before any legal issues happen.

Asset protection strategies vary based on individual needs and local laws.

What Asset Protection Services Include

Now you know what asset protection lawyers do.

So, let’s look at what our services include:

Legal Structures. To protect assets, we may set up trusts or limited liability companies (LLCs). Each structure is chosen based on your specific needs.
Retitling Assets. Changing ownership titles can protect assets. For example, moving a property title into a trust or an LLC.
Exemption Planning. Our lawyers use laws that protect certain assets from creditors. This varies by jurisdiction but often includes retirement accounts and life insurance.
