Asset Protection
If you haven’t done any asset protection planning, your wealth is vulnerable to potential future creditors and, should the worst happen, you could lose everything. |

State Homestead Laws
The federal Homestead Act, which was enacted in 1862, offered free 160- acre parcels of land to anyone willing to settle on them. After five years, these “homesteaders” would become the owners of the land, as long as certain conditions were met (such as building a house and living on the property). Though this act was repealed in 1976, many states have enacted their own homestead laws. If your state has one, it may protect some or all of the equity in your home against certain creditor claims. |
