Asset Protection Trust

An Asset Protection Trust (APT) is a legal arrangement where you transfer ownership of your assets into a trust designed to protect them from claims by creditors or in legal disputes. The trust is managed by a trustee, and you typically retain limited control. The main goal is to shield your wealth from future risks while still providing for your beneficiaries. APTs are often used by individuals with significant assets who want to minimize exposure to potential lawsuits, debts, or judgments, offering an extra layer of security beyond traditional estate planning.
