Asset Protection Strategies for Clients
We make sure our clients are aware of their asset protection options before they make a decision about what they believe is right for them. Every client is different and one strategy does not fit all situations. Some of the different planning strategies we tell our clients about include the following:
These partnerships are formed by families to protect family assets and limit creditors of the partners from a sale of his or her interest. These types of partnerships can be excellent tools for long-term manage of family properties or businesses.
Not all Trusts are created equal. Irrevocable Trusts can offer more protection from creditors than revocable Trusts. However, if these are not properly set up, even an irrevocable Trust may not adequately preserve assets. Some types of Trusts can protect assets from creditors, Medicaid, estate taxes and litigation if properly drafted. For this reason, it is important to have experienced legal counsel assist you assist in the formation of Trusts.
Also called a “Spendthrift Trust,” these Trusts allow a person to benefit from the assets held in the Trust, but limit a creditor's ability to attach to the Trust assets. Montana does not have statutes that allow for the creation of this type of Trust. Only a few states allow for this type of Trust to be created. Nevada is one such state and at Tanko Law we have legal counsel licensed in Nevada and relationships to help you implement this kind of Trust.
LLCs are a popular tool in an estate planning attorney’s tool box. These types of entities offer limited liability, minimize taxation, streamline family and business operations, and protect assets from personal liability. Some may think just creating an LLC online is easy and it affords you all the protections you seek, but nothing could be further from the truth. In today’s complex world where entities are subject to multiple state and federal filings for reporting, the targets for unsuspecting litigation, it is crucial that you work with experienced attorneys when implementing LLCs.
