How Do Cincinnati Asset Protection Lawyers Help You Decide What Assets are at Risk?

By Barry Zimmer on July 31st, 2018 in Asset Protection

Cincinnati asset protection lawyers at Zimmer Law Firm can provide personalized help and advice as you take steps to keep your money and property safe and secure. There are many possible risks to your wealth as you get older, and you need to work with an experienced attorney to understand what property is in jeopardy and what you can do to try to protect the wealth that you have worked so hard to acquire.

To find out more about how Zimmer Law Firm can help you to protect your assets so your wealth can provide you with financial security and so your money and property can serve as your legacy, give us a call today.

How Do Cincinnati Asset Protection Lawyers Help You Decide What Assets to Protect?

Cincinnati asset protection lawyers at Zimmer Law Firm can work closely with you to identify which assets are at risk of being lost. Some of the steps an attorney can take to help you include:

  • Inventorying the wealth that you own: You will need to know what specific assets that you want to try to protect. For example, many people are concerned about keeping their home, and avoiding having to spend the money that they have in their bank accounts or retirement accounts. You need to let your attorney know what kinds of assets you have, because there will be a different asset protection process that you need to use if your primary assets involve ownership interests in a business versus if your wealth is in retirement accounts or is tied up in your primary home.
  • Identifying the biggest risks to your wealth: This will also impact the steps that you need to take to protect your assets as the risks you face will help to determine how you should mitigate them. For example, if the biggest risk to your wealth is the possibility that you will need to move to a nursing home and have to pay for costs privately, then the goal will likely be to make a Medicaid asset protection trust. But, if you are concerned that business debt or a judgement against a business you own could put your personal wealth at risk, then the right step to take may involve incorporating your business in order to give the company a separate legal identity distinct from you.
  • Determining what asset protection tools you should use: After your attorney has helped you to determine what assets could potentially be at risk, your attorney can help you to take the necessary precautions and to make use of the right tools to ensure that those assets are as protected as possible.

There may also be other specific steps that need to be taken, depending upon the specifics of your situation. This is why it is so important to reach out to an experienced attorney to get an asset protection plan in place before something happens that makes you vulnerable to loss.

What Our Clients Say

Some years ago, Barry Zimmer suggested we do a basic estate plan for our son when he went to college. We had no idea how important it would be! In our son's freshman year, he ended up in the hospital, and we were able to get crucial information about his condition because we had a health care ...
