Domestic Asset Protection Trusts

A domestic asset protection trust that keeps your wealth secure and your hands on the wheel.

A domestic asset protection trust, or DAPT, is a special kind of trust. You place assets into it, and the trust — not you personally — owns them. What makes it special is that you can still be a beneficiary, meaning you can still benefit from what is inside.

Protect Your Assets

A lawsuit, a business debt, a divorce, or a claim you never saw coming can put your savings at risk.

Once trouble starts, it is usually too late to protect anything.

A DAPT set up in calm times places a lawful wall between your wealth and anyone who may come after it later.

Our Process

The DMAP Approach

We rarely stop at the land trust. Privacy is one pillar; protection is another. We often pair the land trust with an LLC so your name is off the record, and your personal assets are shielded from what happens on the property. Attorney-drafted, and done right the first time.

Services

•      Land trust creation

•      Deed preparation and recording

•      LLC pairing for liability protection

•      Multi-property structuring

•      Ongoing trust administration

FAQs

Does a land trust protect me from lawsuits by itself?

1

It mainly gives privacy. For liability protection, we combine it with an LLC. Together they are strong.


Do I still control my property?

2

Yes. You keep full control and all the benefits. The trust only holds title.


Transfers into a land trust are generally allowed, but we review your loan first to be sure.

3

Will this affect my mortgage?


Can I put more than one property in a trust?

4

Usually we use a separate trust per property to keep risks separated. We advise based on what you own.


We negotiate a flat fee, so you know the cost up front.

What does it cost?
