Estate Planning
You’ve worked hard for the assets you’ve built. Now you’re ready to shield them from any potential liabilities and ensure they’re structured in a way that those assets can take care of your family when you pass away — and for years to come. That means taking the time now to find an asset protection law firm you can be confident in and that has the knowledge to help you properly structure your holdings. While it may sound counterintuitive, reducing your personal financial profile while you’re alive lets you establish predicates for the assets, which lets you maintain a beneficial interest in and control of the assets now and after your death.
You may wonder why asset is protection so important to consider — after all, isn’t that what a will is for? It’s a common mistake to make. A will can give your survivors only property after your death. If you want to exercise some control over your assets after your death — like transferring a business to your children or ensuring your minor children don’t squander their inheritance before they hit age 25 — you’ll want to consider adding trusts to your estate plan.

Because the stress that comes with the death of a loved one is painful enough, you don’t want to add a financial burden on top of that emotional pain. That’s where an asset protection law firm can offer the estate planning strategies to give you peace of mind now — and they’ll also help your family and business avoid problems if you pass away without a succession or a distribution of assets plan in place.
When you’re ready to restructure your current assets to ensure they’ll benefit your survivors, the next steps may be as simple as selecting the wealth transfer vehicles that meet your family’s needs and keep assets out of the reach of potential creditors.
But it’s not just death that you need to prepare for. What would happen if you or a loved one became incapacitated? How will you protect yourself and your family then? You’ll want to make sure you have durable and medical powers of attorney and declarations of guardianship established to guarantee your wishes are executed as you desire.
