An Asset Protection Trust is a specialized legal tool designed to protect your assets from being diminished due to various financial liabilities, such as long-term care costs, bankruptcy, or claims from creditors.

By placing your assets in a trust, you can designate your life insurance policy for the benefit of your chosen beneficiaries, ensuring peace of mind while protecting them from potential threats. This strategy is particularly helpful for those concerned about passing down wealth efficiently while avoiding unnecessary taxes, probate delays, or loss of assets due to care home fees.
An Asset Protection Trust serves as a robust shield for your hard-earned assets, safeguarding them from potential financial risks and ensuring a smooth transfer to your loved ones.

Assets that can typically be included in an Asset Protection Trust in the UK are cash, property, investments, valuable personal belongings like jewelry or art, and any other assets of value. Placing assets in a trust can help protect them from creditors and legal claims.
An Asset Protection Trust works by transferring ownership of your assets into a trust, where they are managed according to your wishes. While the trust legally owns the assets, you can continue to use and benefit from them. This structure protects your wealth from being considered part of your estate in case of care costs or legal claims.
The trust can be set up during your lifetime, giving you complete control over the assets, including who receives them and when. Upon your passing, the trust ensures that your chosen beneficiaries inherit your wealth as intended, without the risk of it being diminished by taxes, fees, or claims.
