New Jersey Asset Protection Planning Lawyer

-
Timing and compliance with legal requirements are everything when you seek to protect your assets against circumstances involving lawsuits, creditors, divorce, and judgments. There is a wide range of techniques one can employ with asset protection planning, but the list of tactics that may apply to your specific situation is probably quite short. Plus, you need to make absolutely sure to steer clear of any issues that could amount to fraud or criminal contempt.

The asset protection planning legal team at Giro Attorneys at Law, LLC has extensive experience assisting Bergen County, New Jersey clients with safeguarding their financial futures. We know that a custom-tailored approach is critical, so our strategy starts with assessing assets, risk, comfort level, and individual needs. Our lawyers have the knowledge to provide you with asset protection planning options, while ensuring that you avoid negative legal implications.


Safeguard Your Interests in Property with Wise Planning

Our attorneys represent clients with asset protection planning in a variety of situations, but we understand that the need often arises in the context of professional liability. Lawsuits based upon dissatisfaction are common against medical providers, real estate investors, and similar occupations. However, it is smart to work with a lawyer under any circumstances that carry the potential for litigation.

You are in a better position to fully protect your property if you take action well before the threat of a lawsuit, as fraudulent transfer laws can thwart asset protection planning. Transferring items once another party already makes or perfects a claim can lead to serious consequences, such as a court setting aside a transaction. Note that asset protection planning is not a substitute for proper insurance, but should be considered as a supplement to coverage you do carry.

Asset Protection Structures

After reviewing your situation and applying relevant legal principles, we can advise you on your options for asset protection planning. Some of the more common, most effective tools include:

●       Land Trusts: If real estate is among your most valuable assets, you could benefit from employing a land trust to protect it. A land trust eliminates the risk by acting as a privacy shield that holds confidential title to your real estate. Through the arrangement, you are not an owner discoverable through asset searches.
●       Limited Liability Business Entities: Creditors that have claims against an individual stakeholder in a limited liability entity cannot take property owned by the company, so an LLC or corporation properly organized under New Jersey law may be an effective asset protection tool. However, it is necessary to watch out for corporate veil scenarios.
●       Offshore Trusts: This type of asset protection planning tool uses a foreign trustee to manage assets. This individual, as a non-citizen of the US, is not bound by the jurisdiction of US courts.

Highest Court Changes Standard for Divorced Parent Wanting to Leave NJ

-

A New Jersey Supreme Court set a new standard last year for when a divorced parent can relocate to a new state. The new standard overturns two decades of precedent and now focuses on whether the move would be in the “best interest of the child.” The new standard adopted by the New Jersey court now uniformly applies the “best interest of the child” standard to all family law matters dealing with children and child custody. Historically, courts have been reluctant to allow a parent to move a child out-of-state and further away from the non-custodial parent. Concerned that the child’s relationship with the non-custodial parent would deteriorate, the New Jersey Supreme Court set a fairly high bar for parents seeking to relocate their children. Baures and the No Harm to the Child Standard That changed in 2001 when the New Jersey Supreme Court revisited the issue in Baures v. Lewis . The New Jersey court reasoned that focusing exclusively on the well-being of the child was short-s...
