An Asset Protection Trust helps limit creditor exposure while maintaining beneficiary access under terms set by the trust.
You should consider an Asset Protection Trust if you have significant assets, risk of lawsuits, or complex family arrangements.
The cost varies by complexity and funding requirements. We provide clear estimates before starting.
Timing depends on drafting, reviews, and funding. We guide you through each step.
No plan can protect against every claim. A properly structured trust improves protection and planning but may not cover all scenarios.
In many cases you can serve as trustee, though some roles may require third party trustees.
Trusts are typically funded by retitling assets, transferring cash, or designating beneficiaries for certain accounts.
Revocable trusts can be altered, while irrevocable trusts often offer stronger protection. Both serve different goals.
Asset protection planning may have tax consequences called out by your tax advisor. We coordinate with your taxes.
A local attorney with knowledge of Wisconsin and asset protection law can help you navigate options.
