Asset protection starts with an irrevocable trust.
When you move assets into an irrevocable trust, they generally stop being yours. That separation is what can shield them from future lawsuits, creditors and long-term care costs — and keep an inheritance safe for the people you choose.
Shield assets from future claims
Assets held by a properly structured irrevocable trust are generally out of reach of your future creditors.
Protect your beneficiaries
Spendthrift provisions generally keep a beneficiary’s creditors, lawsuits and divorces from reaching their share before it’s paid.
Plan for long-term care
Medicaid asset protection trusts can preserve savings for your family, subject to a five-year look-back.
Use your state’s strongest tools
Some states — such as Nevada, South Dakota, Delaware and Alaska — allow self-settled asset protection trusts.
How much protection a trust provides depends on its type, your state’s law and timing. You generally give up control of what you transfer, and transfers made to avoid existing debts or claims can be undone. General information, not legal advice.
Trusts in 60 seconds
New to all this? Most people are. Here’s the short version.
What is a trust?
Think of a trust as a locked box with a set of instructions. You put things you own inside — like your house or savings. You pick someone to look after the box, and you decide who gets what’s inside, and when.
Why do people get one?
To keep what they’ve worked for safe, to make things easy for their family when they die, and to have someone ready to step in if they get sick and can’t handle their own money.
What are the two main kinds?
An irrevocable trust is the “protect it” kind: hard to change, but it can keep your things safe from lawsuits and some costs. A revocable trust is the “stay flexible” kind: you can change it anytime, but it doesn’t protect much.
Irrevocable or revocable
Choose protection or flexibility. Not sure which fits? Send an inquiry and choose “Not sure yet.”
Asset protection
Irrevocable Trusts
The strongest option for asset protection. Assets you move into an irrevocable trust are generally no longer yours, so they can be shielded from future claims — depending on the trust type, your state and timing.
- Asset protection, Medicaid planning, life insurance and more
- Spendthrift protection for your beneficiaries
- Built around your specific goal
Flexible option
Revocable Living Trusts
A trust you create during your lifetime and can generally change or revoke while you are alive and have capacity. You keep control of your assets and name who takes over.
- Individual and joint (married couple) trusts
- Avoid probate for assets held in the trust
- Change it as your life changes

Answer questions
Plain-language questions about you, your family and your wishes — with an explanation for each.
Review your documents
Read everything before you sign. Check names and choices, and ask questions.
Sign the right way
Follow written instructions for signing, witnesses and notarization in your state.
Then, fund your trust. A trust only controls what you put into it. You’ll get organized, asset-by-asset instructions for moving accounts and property. How funding works
Straight answers about what we do
What you can count on
- Plain-English questions with an explanation for each one
- Prices, included documents and refund terms shown before you buy
- Clear notes on the steps you handle yourself
- Your information used only to serve you
What we won’t do
- Pretend to be a law firm or give legal advice
- Bury fees or add documents you didn’t choose
- Sell your personal information
- Act as your trustee or take control of your assets
Documents are one part. Funding is the other.
Signing a trust creates the plan. Funding puts assets into it — for example, by retitling an account or recording a new deed. Funding is a separate set of steps that you carry out with each bank, county office or company involved.
Not every asset should be moved, and the right approach depends on the asset. Our funding guide explains the general steps by asset type and when to involve a professional.
Common questions
Does an irrevocable trust protect my assets?
