Asset Protection Attorneys Serving New York and Connecticut
You have worked hard to accumulate your assets, whether they are comprised of a personal business, real estate you carefully selected, or investments you have made over the years. In any case, those assets are worth protecting. With help from the estate planning and probate attorneys at Maya Murphy, you can take the steps necessary to protect those assets from future creditors and excessive taxation.
Planning Ahead to Protect Assets in New York and Connecticut
The time to start thinking about asset protection is not when you are being sued or when a creditor is aggressively pursuing you. Rather, the best time to begin working to protect your assets is when you acquire them so you can have the appropriate policies in effect, documents drafted, and/or trusts created before a problem arises. Some common situations where it is helpful to start thinking from an asset protection perspective include:
- Working in a high risk of liability career;
- Creating trusts;
- Incorporating a business;
- Looking into a homestead exemption;
- Planning for retirement; and
- Determining appropriate insurance for a home or business.
If asset protection steps are incorporated into any of these events, future attacks on one’s assets can be greatly minimized, if not avoided entirely.
