Tustin Asset Protection Attorney

From properties to finances to businesses, you can accumulate a great deal of expensive assets over time. Because of this, it’s important to protect those assets, especially as they increase in value. California legislation provides the ability to protect your assets while also setting distinct boundaries on what exactly can be protected and how. With the help of an experienced attorney, like one of our team members at DeArmey Law, you can create a unique asset protection plan that works best for you.

DeArmey Law: Tustin’s Top Property Lawyers

Your assets are irreplaceable. At DeArmey Law, we understand just how important your different assets are to you and how crucial it is to keep them protected.

With over four decades of experience serving clients in Tustin, only DeArmey Law can provide you with the dedication and diligence it takes to assist you properly with legal matters. If you or someone you know is interested in creating an asset protection plan, reach out to our team.

What Is Asset Protection?

Asset protection, simply put, is the process of legally protecting your own assets from outside interference. This can be done in multiple ways in California, depending on what assets you are looking to protect. For example, some people decide to create an asset protection plan with an attorney to protect their private finances, like their retirement plan, from creditors. Asset protection often involves the transfer of ownership or legal division of the different properties and assets involved. It is also an important aspect of estate planning.

Different Methods of Protecting Assets in California

California is commonly known for fighting for assets during litigation, with some of the highest divorce rates in the country. Because of this, protecting your assets from possible interference is crucial to avoid any potential issues or them being taken away. Some of the most common methods of asset protection in California include:

Trusts

Many people decide to open private trusts as part of their asset protection plan. Residence trusts, discretionary trusts, irrevocable trusts, and spendthrift trusts are all common methods that are used to protect assets and finances. While each kind of trust works a bit differently, one of the biggest reasons that Californians opt to use them when protecting their assets is because most of them are protected from creditors and potential lawsuits. With irrevocable trusts, for example, once money or assets have been put into them, they are there permanently and cannot be moved again. This keeps them protected from issues such as taxes.

Private Retirement Fund

Creating a private retirement fund is a great way to protect your assets from outside interference. This is because your money is not only protected while it is in the fund, but it is also protected when it is withdrawn. California law provides the ability for all of its residents to create a private retirement fund that allows them to be exempt from any form of “judgment” or bankruptcy if it were to occur. Private retirement plans can be created with your attorney and are unique to you and your situation, allowing you to emphasize what you want to protect and how. The legislation also allows for an unlimited amount of contributions to the private fund.

Homestead Exemptions

While homestead exemptions can be limited, they help to protect a certain amount of your property from taxes and creditors. California is considered only a partial homestead state. Because of this, homeowners can take a certain amount of the equity of their home and have it exempt from creditors and potential lawsuits. By working with an attorney, you can figure out how to exempt a portion that’s right for you.

Why You Need a Tustin Asset Protection Attorney

You shouldn’t have to worry about potentially losing your assets in an unfair legal battle. Here’s how an asset protection lawyer can help you:

Create a Plan Right That’s for You

The most important part of estate planning and protecting your assets is that you have a plan that works best for your situation. Some people go into asset protection matters looking only to protect some private finances, while others may have multiple properties they are trying to protect. Working with an attorney can help to ensure that you figure out the best way possible to protect your assets legally.

Navigate You Through the Legal Processes

When it comes to estate planning and protecting your assets, there are a great deal of matters that must be taken into consideration in addition to the legality of it all. An asset protection attorney will know all the different legislation that provides you with asset protection opportunities while also knowing how to help implement it for you. They can also assist with navigating you through the legal processes that may take place before putting your protection plan into action.

Make Sure Everything Is Done Legally

With their extensive knowledge of the law, an attorney can not only navigate you through the legal processes and create a plan for you, but they’ll also make sure that everything you’re doing is legal. Unfortunately, there are fine lines that can be crossed when trying to protect assets, especially when money is being transferred to different accounts. Your asset protection attorney specializes in this area of the law and can help to enforce all legal parameters and ensure your assets are taken care of properly.
