Below, our Centennial asset protection attorney discusses what asset protection does and how an asset protection attorney may be able to help you.
What Is Asset Protection in Estate Planning?
In order to understand what an asset protection attorney does, it is important to know what “asset protection” means. Essentially, asset protection involves protecting your assets from parties that have no legal right to them – think creditors and lawsuits.
Asset protection is the process of protecting your assets through legal strategies and financial planning. This process is completely legal as long as it is done correctly with the help of an experienced asset protection lawyer. Your assets may include anything from money and real estate to special collections you have.

- Identifies tools to create a custom asset protection plan based on your concerns and goals.
- Implements your asset protection plan to provide your assets with maximum protections.
- Ensures that your asset protection plan is legal and will be upheld under the law.
