Understanding Asset Protection 

Asset protection refers to legal methods and planning strategies to shield your property and financial resources from potential threats. 

These threats include:

• Lawsuits
• Creditors
• Divorce
• Long-term care costs
• Business liabilities
• Taxes
• Financial vulnerabilities of heirs

By structuring your assets properly in advance, you can reduce the likelihood of losing them due to unexpected legal or financial challenges.

Asset protection is most effective when implemented proactively—before a problem arises. Waiting until a lawsuit is filed or a debt is due may limit your options and be legally problematic. That is why thoughtful, forward-looking planning is key.

Standard Asset Protection Tools & Strategies

Several legal mechanisms can be used to protect assets, depending on your specific circumstances and goals. 

These include:

• Revocable and irrevocable trusts – Trusts can hold and manage property in a way that separates it from your personal ownership, potentially shielding it from creditors and legal claims.
• Limited liability companies (LLCs) – Forming an LLC for business or investment purposes can help insulate your personal assets from business liabilities.
• Homestead exemptions – North Carolina law provides certain protections for a primary residence; we can help you understand and apply those protections.
• Gifting strategies – Transferring assets to family members or charitable organizations during your lifetime can reduce your taxable estate and may protect property from future claims.
• Insurance planning – Properly structured liability, umbrella, and long-term care insurance policies can provide a financial buffer against legal action and unexpected costs.
• Special needs trusts – These trusts can protect assets intended to benefit a disabled loved one while maintaining their eligibility for government benefits.
• Business succession planning – If you own a business, we can develop a strategy to protect its value and transfer it smoothly to the next generation or new ownership.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements – Establish agreements to define property rights and protect certain assets in case of divorce.
