What types of assets can be protected?
Commonly protected assets include real estate, business interests, investments, savings, and personal property. Certain types of trusts and business structures provide added protection.
Is asset protection legal?
Yes. Asset protection relies on legal strategies that follow state and federal laws to protect wealth while ensuring compliance.
Can I protect assets from nursing home costs?
Yes. Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts help shield assets while maintaining eligibility for long-term care assistance. However, planning must be done well in advance due to Medicaid’s look-back period.
When should I start asset protection planning?
The sooner, the better. Early planning is key—once a lawsuit, claim, or financial hardship arises, your options may be limited.
How does a trust protect assets?
Assets in an irrevocable trust are no longer considered part of your personal estate, meaning they cannot be seized by creditors or included in lawsuits.
