Asset Protection

PROTECT THE FUTURE OF YOUR ASSETS AND FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR YOUR FAMILY WITH PROPER ESTATE PLANNING

There are many reasons for you to take advantage of practical estate planning and asset protection planning.

For instance, did you know:

1. A Will does not avoid probate.
2. Probate files are public records, and anyone can have access to your records.
3. You and your property can be placed under the control of the probate court before you die.
4. Your child’s trust in your will may not work when needed.
5. You may be unable to sell the jointly-owned property without approval from the probate court.
6. It would be best if you still protected your assets against the possibility of disability or incapacity.
7. The probate court, not your child’s guardian, will probably control your minor child’s inheritance.
8. Your present life insurance might be unable to help your family.
9. The need for long-term care in your future may cause the liquidation/loss of your family assets and financial security for you, your spouse, and your loved ones due to the Medicaid Spend-down statutes.
10. Business activities can lead to business liabilities. Corporations or limited liability companies can protect you and your assets from such liability exposure.

An effective estate and asset protection plan can assure your family of financial security after your disability or death. It can reduce taxes, administrative costs, and red tape. It can allow you to dispose of your assets as you wish, with consideration given to your heirs’ individual needs and desires.

It is not effective estate planning to put everything you own in joint title or draw up a will, leaving everything to your spouse. You need to review your total financial position and project what taxes and probate costs your family will pay if you alter nothing. Then, consider the options to reduce these expenses while still accomplishing your objectives. Please visit Long Term Care and Family Limited Partnerships.
