Asset Protection Mistakes to Avoid
|

Whether you're concerned about lawsuits, creditors, or future financial risks, it’s crucial to have a solid plan in place. In addition to a working knowledge of taxation and business entities, an estate planning attorney wishing to engage in asset protection planning should be familiar with general concepts of bankruptcy law and creditor/debtor law. Even in frivolous lawsuits, bullying and demands from a plaintiff and their attorneys can cost thousands, even hundreds of thousands in legal fees, lost business and community goodwill. An asset protection trust (APT) is an irrevocable, self-settled trust that can insulate your assets from creditor actions, including lawsuits. If you have a lot of debt and few assets and you are subject to a lawsuit, it may be better to take bankruptcy than set up an asset protection plan.

As your clients develop an estate plan, they will inevitably encounter tax consequences. Many clients will require sophisticated and highly customized guidance to navigate the rules of wealth transfer. This assessment can affirm the ability of clients and their partners to respond to emergencies or can reveal gaps in their preparedness that you can help them address. In the event of emergency, it serves as a quick-reference guide for clients' loved ones or other survivors. While the goal of each meeting is to facilitate collaborative discussion and come to a mutual understanding and consensus, each meeting should be shaped to the needs of your client’s family. Structured meetings can help you open a dialogue about important issues, strengthen family harmony and trust, and educate and prepare your client’s heirs for future responsibilities.
