Why Do I Need Asset Protection?

There are many reasons why a person may need an asset protection strategy. Some of the reasons may be obvious, but there are also unexpected incidents that can place your assets at risk.

Three common reasons that an individual might need an asset protection plan include:

  • Business Liabilities and Debts — If you own a business or an interest in a business, your personal assets could be at risk in some cases. Choosing the right business entity can help reduce the risk of personal liability, but it is also good to have additional layers of asset protection when you are self-employed or own a business.
  • Divorce and Family Members — Property division in divorce actions can result in a substantial loss of property. Marital agreements can help protect property during a divorce action. Some family members who are dealing with financial troubles or personal problems may need protection from themselves. Placing property you intend to leave these family members in a trust agreement can protect the property from their creditors.
  • Negligence and Other Lawsuits — If a party sues you, your personal assets could be at risk if the other party receives a judgment against you. Asset planning strategies help protect property should something happen in the future.

There may be other reasons why you need to consult a Nevada asset protection attorney. If you have questions, do not wait to contact our office. Putting a plan in place now can protect your financial future.

Implement an Asset Protection Plan Before a Claim?

Most people do not think about being sued by another party. Unfortunately, our society is becoming more litigious. A lawsuit may be filed even though the other party does not have a valid claim. Sadly, some creditors are successful with their false claims. Therefore, it is best to develop a strategy for protecting your assets now before a claim arises. It may be too late to transfer assets or take other steps to protect your property from a claim if you wait until you have notice of a claim.

Liability Insurance Is Not Sufficient

Asset Protection

It is always a wise idea to invest in liability insurance to protect your personal assets. State laws required drivers to carry minimum amounts of automobile liability insurance. Whenever possible, it is best to purchase the highest amount of auto liability insurance you can afford. Liability insurance is typically inexpensive compared to the protection it offers.

If you own real estate, you also need liability insurance in case someone is injured while on your property. You should have liability insurance for your home, rental property, and commercial property. If you have a pool or other potentially “hazardous or dangerous” item on your property, you might want to consider a special insurance policy that includes protections from liability related to those items or conditions.

However, liability insurance is not sufficient for asset protection. There could be instances in which your liability for a matter exceeds the policy limits of your liability insurance coverage. Your personal property could be at risk. Therefore, you need an asset protection plan even though you purchase substantial liability insurance coverage. By implementing an asset protection plan and purchasing liability insurance coverage, you increase the level of asset protection for your property.
