What Is Asset Protection and Why Does It Matter?

Asset protection refers to legal or estate planning focused on preserving personal, business, or family wealth from loss due to creditors, legal liabilities, emergencies, or poor personal and financial decisions. Asset protection matters because individuals may face unexpected lawsuits that endanger their financial security and business interests. It is also an important estate planning component that allows a smoother transfer of assets to your loved ones while avoiding the time and expense of probate after your death.

Key Strategies for Asset Protection

Asset protection planning may incorporate a variety of legal tools suited to your circumstances, such as:

  • Creating revocable and irrevocable trusts
  • Establishing special needs trusts to protect the interests of a disabled child
  • Establishing limited liability entities, such as LLCs or S-corporations
  • Implementing gifting and tax planning strategies
