Some of the wealth protection strategies we provide for our clients address the following risks:
-
Loss of market value of estate assets transferred to heirs due to estate taxes
-
Lawsuits and creditor claims on your assets
-
Loss of estate assets transferred to beneficiaries due to spendthrift spouses of your children
-
Loss of estate assets from deceased spouse due to remarriage
Some of the risk management solutions to these and other problems are the following:

Using life insurance within an ILIT to replace estate and income taxes paid by heirs
-
Using domestic asset protection trusts (DAPT) to protect assets from claims of creditors
-
Using sufficient property and casualty insurance coverage and umbrella coverage to mitigate loss of assets in a catastrophe
-
Use of separate property trusts to maintain property transferred to children as separate property to help protect them from spendthrift spouses
-
Use of pre-nuptial agreements for second marriages to protect from spendthrift second spouse
