Many people are worried about liability either through accidents or fraudulent lawsuits and are looking for a legal strategy to protect their assets. The best solution is highly relative to the situation of each individual. While there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all solution, asset protection generally falls into three tiers. Each tier builds on the previous one, offering increasing levels of protection, complexity, and planning benefits.<\/p>\r\n

What is \u201cProtection\u201d?<\/h3>\r\n

Before we dive in, it is important to clarify terminology. Often words such as \u201canonymity\u201d get used when speaking about asset protection. Our firm prefers the term\u00a0\u201cprivacy\u201d\u00a0over \u201canonymity.\u201d Anonymity implies invisibility, which is not realistic. Government agencies and courts will always be able to identify you. Valid claims will result in discovery during litigation. We define privacy as the ability to keep your name off public records, limit easy access to your holdings, and raise procedural hurdles. These elements of privacy can deter baseless lawsuits, cut down on internet trolling, and make it less attractive for attorneys to take on a case against you on contingency. Simply put, privacy doesn\u2019t make you invincible, but it significantly raises your level of protection.<\/p>\r\n

Likewise, it\u2019s important to understand that\u00a0no asset protection strategy offers an ironclad guarantee. The goal is not to become untouchable, but to position yourself far more favorably in the event of a lawsuit. For example, a\u00a0Wyoming domestic asset protection trust<\/a>\u00a0can, under most circumstances,\u00a0prevent a judgment creditor from directly reaching the assets. However, long-term defiance of a valid judgment is rarely a sustainable outcome. What you\u00a0can\u00a0expect is that\u00a0you will be in a significantly stronger position to negotiate a favorable settlement\u00a0than if those same assets had been held in your own name. Asset protection doesn\u2019t eliminate risk, but it shifts the balance of power.<\/p>\r\n
