Best Practices for Asset Protection Planning

Finding the perfect financial asset protection tools

Setting up advanced asset protection tools is a surefire way to protect your wealth against creditors. Some of the tools to consider include LLCs, special trusts, IRAs, LPs, and annuities. An experienced fee-only financial advisor in Oregon will be able to round up the essential tools that will generally keep your property safe from creditors. Since it’s not a foolproof strategy, talk to your advisor and let them enlighten you on exceptions (if any) that apply to your situation

Understand that business and personal wealth do not mix

Whichever protection structure you choose, make sure there is a clear distinction between personal and business assets. Doing so ensures that, in the event that a plaintiff slaps you with a lawsuit, they will only go after one of them, not both.

Consider shared control

An asset protection planning advice that you will almost always come across is to avoid having sole control over your estate. Multiple people sharing control will limit a creditor’s right when seeking debt payment or compensation. Trusts provide an excellent way for high net-worth persons to share control. Doing so minimizes the risks of losing a significant amount of money and property to lawsuits, business liabilities, or divorce.
