Asset Protection

At Miller & Miller Law Group, we understand that safeguarding your hard-earned assets is essential to protecting your legacy and providing for your family’s future. Whether you’re planning for retirement, protecting your home, or securing your savings from long-term care costs, our asset protection strategies are designed to fit your unique situation and needs.

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Asset Overview

The first step in our asset protection process is a comprehensive initial consultation, during which we will:

  • Assess your current assets: We’ll review your financial holdings, including your home, investments, retirement accounts, and any other valuable assets.
  • Discuss your goals: Whether you’re looking to protect assets from long-term care costs, creditors, or taxes, we’ll identify the best strategies for your situation.
  • Identify risk areas: We’ll evaluate potential vulnerabilities, such as exposure to lawsuits, medical expenses, or probate, that could jeopardize your assets.

This consultation is designed to give you a clear picture of your current financial standing and how we can help protect it.

Step 2: Develop a Personalized Asset Protection Plan

Based on the information we gather, we’ll create a customized asset protection strategy tailored to your needs. This plan may include:

  • Trust structures: We may recommend creating a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT), Irrevocable Trust, or other trusts that help shield your assets from creditors, long-term care costs, and probate.
  • Gifting strategies: If appropriate, we’ll explore legal and tax-efficient gifting options to transfer wealth to loved ones while minimizing exposure to estate taxes and other liabilities.
  • Exemptions and protections: We’ll guide you through any state or federal exemptions that protect certain assets, such as your home or retirement accounts, from being accessed by creditors or Medicaid.
  • Business planning: If you own a business, we’ll explore options such as creating LLCs or other legal entities to limit your personal liability.

Step 3: Implementation and Document Preparation

Once we have developed your asset protection plan, we’ll move forward with:

  • Drafting the necessary legal documents: We’ll prepare all the trust documents, deeds, and other legal paperwork required to implement your asset protection strategy.
  • Funding your trust: For trust-based strategies, we’ll guide you through the process of retitling your assets into the trust to ensure they are properly protected.
  • Coordination with other advisors: If necessary, we’ll work alongside your financial advisors, accountants, and other professionals to ensure that your asset protection plan aligns with your overall financial goals.

Step 4: Ongoing Support and Monitoring

Asset protection isn’t a one-time event—it requires ongoing management and adjustments as your life and financial situation change. We offer:

  • Annual reviews: We’ll revisit your asset protection plan each year to ensure it still meets your needs and is aligned with any changes in laws or your financial situation.
  • Updates and modifications: If you acquire new assets or experience major life changes (such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child), we’ll update your plan to reflect these developments.
  • Legacy Protection Plan: Clients who join our Legacy Protection Plan receive ongoing support, including annual check-ins and free updates to their asset protection documents.
