Start Planning with Purpose

Let’s Protect What Matters Most

Your estate and asset protection plan should reflect what matters most—your family, your business, and your legacy. Let’s take the time to build a plan that supports all three, with legal clarity and care that lasts.

What We Do

Safeguard Your Hard-Earned Assets

Asset protection planning is designed to avoid the unnecessary exposure of personal assets to the claims of potential creditors. For an individual, business owner, or professional, it is important to create a strategy that protects your personal and business assets from liability and exposure. Our attorneys assist clients, their businesses, and their families in protecting their assets from future creditors and lawsuits through the implementation of a wide variety of legal tools.

You are proud of the risks you have taken and the hard work you have done to provide for your family. The wealth you have built should ensure your future and that of your heirs. Unfortunately, your assets may make you a target for frivolous lawsuits. Whether or not you are truly liable for another person’s losses, you may be a target simply because you have valuable assets. If you work in a high-liability industry such as trucking, construction, or environmental remediation, you are even more susceptible to litigation.

When you work with our asset protection team, we will develop a plan to meet the following goals:

  • Deterring litigation. If your assets are protected in trusts or with other legal tools, there will be no reason for a creditor or plaintiff to come after you. This can serve as a deterrent to frivolous lawsuits.
  • Leveling the negotiation playing field. If you are named in a lawsuit, you will be on equal negotiating terms if the bulk of your wealth is untouchable.
  • Early and cheaper settlements. When certain assets are off the table, it is much easier and less costly to quickly settle lawsuits and other legal issues.
  • Providing the client with options. We don’t offer cookie-cutter asset protection plans. We will present a variety of options and help you choose the options that work best for your current needs and future goals.
  • Creating a user-friendly asset protection plan. We do not use legal strategies that are so complicated and unusual that you can’t understand where your money is and how you or your heirs can access it. We set up your plan so that you can easily understand the legal rules.

When it comes to asset protection, your goals are our goals.

You may not think of yourself as wealthy, but your investments, real estate holdings, insurance policies, and other assets may be worth more in total than you realize. You may also be in a position that makes you more vulnerable to lawsuits. We create asset protection plans for a variety of people, including the following:

  • Professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and service providers.
  • Business owners and executives.
  • Persons who sit on the boards of directors of publicly or privately held corporations or charitable organizations.
  • Spouses in a second marriage, or in a first marriage without a pre-nuptial agreement.
  • Business owners contemplating the sale of a company.
  • Businesspersons who have just sold a company.
  • People concerned with passing wealth to children and grandchildren.
  • People with “hot assets” such as airplanes, valuable real estate, etc.

There is no single type of person we work with on asset protection plans. Allow us to take a look at your situation to help you determine if you could benefit from our services in this area.

Without an estate plan:

  • The courts—not you—decide who receives your assets
  • Your family may face unnecessary legal delays, expenses, or conflict
  • Minor children may not be placed under the care of someone you trust
  • Your wishes may not be followed in medical or financial decisions

Estate planning puts you in control. It ensures that your loved ones are protected, your wishes are respected, and your assets are distributed the way you intend.

✔️ Wills

A legally binding document that outlines how your property will be distributed and who will care for your children.

✔️ Revocable Living Trusts

Avoid probate and keep your affairs private while maintaining flexibility and control during your lifetime.

✔️ Powers of Attorney

Designate a trusted person to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

✔️ Healthcare Directives

Clearly state your wishes for medical care and appoint someone to make healthcare decisions if you cannot.

✔️ Beneficiary Designations Review

Ensure your retirement accounts, life insurance, and other non-probate assets align with your estate plan.

✔️ Estate Tax Planning

Reduce potential tax burdens and preserve more of your wealth for your heirs.

✔️ Special Needs & Legacy Trusts

Provide long-term support for loved ones with unique needs while protecting government benefits and inheritance.

We work with clients in all stages of life:

  • Young families just starting out
  • Retirees looking to preserve wealth and simplify affairs
  • High-net-worth individuals and business owners
  • Blended families and those with complex asset structures
  • Aging parents wanting to protect adult children and grandchildren

With over 35 years of estate planning experience, Andrew D. Kaiser, JD, LLM (Taxation), Philip A. Kaiser, JD, LLM (Taxation) and our team bring deep legal knowledge and personal attention to every plan we create.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all documents. We take the time to understand your goals, your family, and your values—so your plan works exactly the way you need it to.
