What Are Asset Protection Trusts?
Asset protection trusts allow you to transfer a portion of your assets into a trust that an independent trustee runs. These assets are out of the reach of creditors and you can still receive periodic distributions. These trusts can also shield the assets for your children or other beneficiaries. Asset protection trusts must be irrevocable to protect your assets from lawsuits. Additionally, the trustee must be someone that is in the state of Texas or a bank or trust company licensed in Texas. The trust documents and administrator must also be in Texas.
