ESTATES & TRUSTS / ELDER LAW | Asset Protection Planning

Offit Kurman knows that your financial plan and estate plan are of no use or benefit if potential claimants are able to seize the assets you have acquired. In a world filled with high number of legal claims and claimants, and with insurance companies denying more claims, it makes sense to take additional steps to protect a client's assets from potential future claims.

Individuals and couples who should consider developing an asset protection plan include:

• People with High Net Worth
• People Involved in High Risk Occupations (i.e., Doctors, Attorneys, Accountants)
• Fiduciaries (i.e., Trustees, Guardians, and Personal Representatives of Estates)
• Corporate CEOs, CFOs, Officers and Directors
• Real Estate Developers
• People who have Sold Their Businesses
• People Uneasy with a Pre-Nuptial Agreement, and who want to Shield Assets from Potential Claims Brought by a Spouse
