Asset protection can help to:
- Have peace of mind that you and your family are protected
- Reduce or avoid probate and estate taxes
- Reduce your exposure to malpractice claims
- Potentially save money on liability and malpractice insurance if less coverage is needed
- Settle lawsuits more quickly and at reduced amounts—once a plaintiff realizes your assets are protected, they’ll be less inclined to incur any more legal costs knowing that their likelihood of recovery is slim
- Protect against exemplary, treble, or punitive damages which typically are not covered by liability insurance policies
- Protect against the bankruptcy of your insurance carrier—there’s no guarantee that they’re still going to be in business when you need them
