When clients first come to us for estate planning, most have given considerable thought to who their beneficiaries are and the amount that they want each beneficiary to receive. What they have not thought about is what the future may hold for their beneficiaries and the inheritance being left to them. We live in an age of uncertainty. Many more marriages are ending in divorce. Family members are getting into financial difficulties and creditors are becoming much more aggressive. When we discuss these topics with our clients, we often find that there are indeed situations which beneficiaries of the estate may encounter in the future which may reduce or eliminate the inheritance they receive unless it is properly protected.

Our attorneys recommend the use of a well-drafted Asset Protection Trust in these situations. By including specific provisions in these trusts, we are able to insulate, preserve and protect the carefully designed plans requested by the client from being rewritten by lawyers for creditors or divorcing spouses of family members.

Imagine the peace of mind that you will have knowing that your beneficiaries will be provided for in the manner you intend, and can be protected for more that one generation in a properly drafted Asset Protection Trust. Your beneficiaries will not have to worry that their inheritances may be taken away from them in expensive court proceedings.

You should consider taking action now to protect your heirs and beneficiaries by taking advantage of the safety and security provided under a properly drafted Asset Protection Trust. If you delay, your hard earned assets could end up the pockets of aggressive creditor or divorce lawyers and their clients instead of being there to benefit your loved ones into the future. We look forward to discussing with you the many ways an Asset Protection Trust can enhance your estate plan and protect your family.
