BENEFICIARY PROTECTION TRUST
By Dr. Ash J. Hanna

Like most, you probably have a trust or a will to pass your assets to your children. Unfortunately, we live in the most litigious society in the world. Over 55% of our children will go through divorce, not counting bankruptcies, tax liens and other liability your children me facing or will face in the future. and lawsuits filed each year. You set up your trust or will to pass your assets to your children, not to their creditors. But, this is often not the case. Instead, your assets end up being TAKEN by their creditors BEFORE your children can receive them. It doesn’t have to be this way. A very simple yet very effective asset protection layer can be added to your estate plan that will insulate the assets of your estate so only your children will have access to it. This layer of asset protection is the Irrevocable Estate Protection Trust (IEPT). These trusts are a strong protective tool that have been used by high net worth families for a very long time. With the advancement of information technology, the use of these trusts are no longer limited to the very wealthy only as they are being more and more implemented by middle class families too.
