Asset protection is a vital component of estate planning to wisely manage your wealth and avoid losing hard-earned assets.
It takes a lifetime to accrue a significant nest egg or build a business to pass to loved ones. Asset protection strategies help preserve your wealth in the face of potentially disastrous events during your lifetime, such as a lawsuit or serious accident, and help ensure taxes don’t consume your estate when you pass. With comprehensive asset protection strategies in place, you can:
- Keep assets in the family
- Promote knowledge of and communication about family assets
- Maintain control and centralize management of family assets
- Protect family assets in case of divorce
- Plan for costs associated with incapacity or disability
- Shield assets from the cost of nursing home care
- Avoid probate and ease transfer of assets to beneficiaries
- Shift income to a lower tax bracket
- Minimize estate and inheritance taxes
- Consolidate investments for efficiency
- Shield assets from creditors and lawsuits
With the enormous cost of nursing home care—an expense all families must consider—everyone can benefit from asset protection planning. However, there are some individuals who absolutely need an asset protection strategy to shield their assets from lawsuits. These people include business owners, property owners, and professionals such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, and athletes. At Schwartz | White, we have experience helping entrepreneurs, professionals, and those with large estates effectively shield their assets against litigation, judgments, liens, and fraud.
