Florida Asset Protection with Experienced Lawyers
Florida is well known as having some of the best laws in the nation to protect your Florida real estate and savings. This is a legal discipline that usually requires an attorney who specializes in both estate planning and asset protection in Florida, because usually the best Florida asset protection plan is one that integrates both estate and asset protection into a plan that protects the family wealth and instructs how this wealth is to be managed and transferred.
It is important to plan when the waters are quiet — before you are the target of a lawsuit. Otherwise, any transfers or conversions may be deemed fraudulent by the Florida Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, F.S. 726 or Fraudulent Conversion Act, F.S. 222.
Concealment
Good Hialeah asset protection is not based upon concealment. To put it another way, an asset protection plan in Florida premised on concealment is doomed to failure because of powerful discovery tools available in our legal system. A strong plan is backed up by good law. You will want the creditor to know that your Florida estate is structured for maximum protection: this is simply good, prudent business practice, not unlike insuring your property.
Analysis
Our first step in Florida asset protection analysis is reviewing your global inventory and determining what assets are already protected by law and which ones are the “low hanging fruit” — assets a creditor can easily reach. The second step in the plan is to structure your assets into trust, corporate, partnership or off-shore entities that will take this low hanging fruit and make it virtually untouchable by a creditor. We start by first separating the “protected fruit” from the “low hanging fruit”.
