What asset protection planning does
Asset protection uses legal tools — certain trusts, business entities, and ownership structures — to make your assets harder for future creditors or lawsuits to reach, while keeping everything legal and transparent.
It works best when set up before any claim arises. An experienced attorney builds protection that fits without crossing into fraudulent transfer territory.
