ASSET PRESERVATION
In the process of Estate Planning and Administration, we will assist you with asset preservation by protecting your assets from various unforeseeable creditors by using trusts. We will guide you every step of the way to ensure that your future is secure.
PROTECTION FROM UNFORESEEN CREDITORS
We provide clients with the tools they need to protect their hard-earned assets from various unforeseeable creditors, including business creditors, tort creditors, divorce, and nursing home costs. These tools often include limited liability companies, irrevocable trusts, counseling as to asset structuring, and assistance restructuring assets to maximize eligibility for medicaid and other government benefits.
PROTECTED INHERITANCE TRUSTS
With inheritance trusts, we enable you to pass on your wealth to your loved ones, while protecting them from their potential tort creditors, business creditors, and divorce. We also counsel you and implement plans to handle situations where your loved ones have challenges that prevent them from managing assets for themselves.
PLANNING FOR MEDICAID & LONG TERM CARE
The ability to pay for long term care is a rising concern among aging Americans. We advise clients on available assisted living options and develop strategies that will enable them to either pay for those options and/or qualify for government benefits, including medicaid, while preserving assets for their families. Read our article, Five Tips for Affording the Cost of Long Term Care Insurance, for helpful advice and more information.
SPECIAL NEEDS TRUSTS
For your beneficiary with special needs or challenges, we can design and implement trusts that are structured to prevent his or her disqualification from available public and private benefit programs. In particular, we can create trusts that are “non-countable” for medicaid and public benefit purposes.
