How To Protect Yourself

As our Houston domestic asset protection lawyer can discuss with you over a consultation, there are many ways to protect your assets. Whether you are a small or large business owner, someone with a substantial amount of real estate investments, or otherwise have significant assets, we can help you protect yourself. Examples of domestic assets could be general intangibles, accounts, chattel paper, documents, investment property, inventory, instruments, supporting obligations, proprietary rights, and more. The best way to protect these assets is to have a legal professional learn more about your individual circumstances and then advise further. Every client has their own needs and concerns, and we handle each case as such.

Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT)

A Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) is an irrevocable trust that enables the settler of the trust to be a discretionary beneficiary while still providing protection from claims against the estate. With a strategically planned DAPT, the settlor maintains access to their assets within the trust, but they are safeguarded from creditor claims. The main benefit of having a DAPT is that your assets are shielded from future creditors. However, you cannot place assets into a trust like this simply to avoid the reach of an expected or current creditor. It is wise to have a lawyer review your situation before you take any actions or move assets. If you have substantial assets or could face exposure to major creditors or lawsuits, now is the time to get help from a dedicated legal team who can serve to protect you.
