Modern Asset Protection – An Introduction

Article Written for:  TaxStringer, the NYSSCPA's publication for tax topics

Asset protection is a body of law that has developed as an amalgamation of business structures, trusts, titling and creditor exemptions. Asset protection planning insulates assets otherwise exposed to future unknown creditors. Prudent structuring uses widely accepted legal strategies to make clients unattractive to claimants.

2021 Asset Protection Update
Learn about current considerations for domestic and international exempt assets, statutory entity protections, and court rulings. Also learn how certain states and foreign governments have fortified LLC and trust protections while other jurisdictions leave the owner exposed.

Tuesday, July 27th

How Asset Protection Plans Fail
This seminar focuses on the practical aspects of the law of asset protection. Through real world examples, attendees learn why relying exclusively on “Asset Protection” may be a mistake. Attendees further discover why the most effective personal asset preservation tools are implemented as part of a comprehensive personal plan that demonstrates intent beyond creditor protection. Finally, the seminar provides simple, yet key insights into the practical considerations that can influence the effectiveness of protective planning.

You May Transfer Assets Freely (But Not Really)
In this seminar, attendees learn why debtors may move assets freely prior to a judgment being entered. Certain late transfers may be unwound and even get debtors (and their advisors) into trouble. Attendees will learn how best to avoid fraudulent transfers and to implement effective planning.
