Our attorneys work closely with our clients to review the various asset protection strategies available based on family situation, enabling them to maximize — and smooth the ultimate transfer of — assets to be passed to heirs.
Clients are often concerned about potential claims from creditors other than a spouse. By taking advantage of estate planning opportunities and favorable laws in certain jurisdictions (within and outside the U.S.), we can assist our clients in shielding their assets from claims of future creditors to the maximum permissible extent. This can be done through trusts, limited liability companies, tenants by entirety titling or other methods unique to each individual situation.
Asset protection with respect to a divorcing spouse (of a client or of a client’s child) is handled through premarital agreements or trusts.
