You’ve worked hard to build your savings, real estate, and investments — but without proper planning, these assets may be vulnerable to creditors, lawsuits, or unexpected financial setbacks. In Washington, asset protection planning allows you to shield what you’ve earned while still maintaining control and access to your property.



At the Law Offices of Joseph W. Creed, our asset protection attorneys are committed to helping you preserve your wealth so you and your loved ones can face the future with confidence.

Why Asset Protection Matters

Owning valuable assets — from property and businesses to financial accounts — can make you a target for creditors. Without safeguards in place, you could risk losing much of what you’ve worked so hard to earn. Common threats include:

• Lawsuits from accidents or disputes
• Business liability claims
• Medical debts or personal financial challenges
• Creditors pursuing outstanding debts

Asset protection provides a legal shield, ensuring your wealth is secure no matter what challenges you face.

Effective Asset Protection Strategies in Washington

At the Law Offices of Joseph W. Creed, we tailor strategies to your specific needs and level of risk tolerance. Common tools include:

• Limited Liability Companies (LLCs): Protect business owners from personal liability tied to company debts or lawsuits.
• Irrevocable Trusts: Place assets into a trust to prevent creditors from accessing them.
• Offshore Trusts: Create additional layers of security for investments and cash.
• Partnerships: Share ownership in a way that limits exposure to individual liability.
• Revocable Living Trusts: Useful for estate planning, though not enough on their own for creditor protection.

Our team will walk you through each option and build a plan that meets your financial and family goals.

Benefits of Asset Protection

Proper asset protection not only shields your wealth but also:

• Preserves family inheritances for children and heirs
• Minimizes exposure to lawsuits and creditor claims
• Helps reduce estate and income taxes
• Provides peace of mind knowing your future is secure

By planning ahead, you can enjoy your assets with confidence while ensuring they remain protected for future generations.
