Asset Protection: Prepare For The Unexpected

Asset Protection typically refers to estate planning and various insurance and Trust strategies aimed at protecting your assets against, “creditors, predators, and lawsuits.” There is, however, some significant overlap between asset protection planning, estate planning, tax planning, and financial planning. For this reason, we also want to include elements of tax planning along with life insurance and annuity strategies to also help protect your assets agains different tax risks, longevity risks, market risks, and inflation risks. As stated earlier, all these measures are aimed at growing, protecting, and preserving purchasing power for you and your loved ones, as well as for future generations or charities of your choice. In most cases, to properly address all areas of concern for asset protection planning, estate planning, and financial planning, we will likely require the assistance of an extended team of experts with the necessary skill-sets to develop adequate and comprehensive solutions. For obvious reasons, levels of time, effort, and costs will vary based on specific household and business planning needs. Please keep in mind that proper asset protection planning must start early, most importantly before any existing claims or law suits emerge. These strategies will not be effective to protect assets from existing claims.

Choosing to have us implement your recommendations supports our passion for establishing and maintaining long term relationships with our clients. This also allows us to provide cohesive management of all your financial planning needs well into the future.
