Asset protection is a strategy to keep your
property safe from being taken by someone who it
was not intended for to receive the assets. Asset
protection strategies are used both by
individuals and companies. Individuals and
business entities use asset protection techniques
to limit creditors' access to certain valuable
assets, while operating within the bounds of
debtor-creditor law.

Tools Used By an Asset Attorney to Protect Your
Assets
Various asset protection strategies employed are

• Limited Liability Company
• Maximize Contributions to Your 401(k) or IRA
• Load Up Liability Insurance

• Limited Liability Company

Business owners are often liable if their company
goes bankrupt or issued and they may lose their
personal assets. By creating an LLC, you may be
able to protect your assets from creditors and
lawsuits. This means that you are not personally
liable for business debts and judgments.

• Maximize Contributions to Your 401(k) or IRA

Tax-favored retirement accounts, comprising of
401(k)s, pension plans and IRAs offer special
protection. Hence, maximizing contributions to
your companys 401(k) plan is not only a good
idea to increase your retirement savings, but
this will keep the investments away from the
creditors and lawsuits. If your company doesnt
offer a 401(k) plan, an investment in an IRA may
accomplish these goals.

• Load Up Liability Insurance

The first line of protection against liability is
insurance. This may include business liability
insurance, homeowners insurance, an umbrella
policy and others. Make sure that you have
liability coverage to minimize risk to your
personal assets.

Conclusion
Asset protection planning is not only for the
people who are wealthy. If you have any property,
money or investment that you want to protect,
then create a plan. Making plans at a very early
stage can protect more of your assets if you take
actions at such an early stage. We even help
