Asset Protection

We Mitigate Risk.

Verdon Law Group focuses on advanced estate planning, asset protection, risk mitigation, and wealth preservation strategies for affluent families, investors, and business owners.

Our approach goes beyond traditional planning by combining sophisticated tax strategies, innovative wealth preservation structures, and forward-thinking investment and risk management concepts designed to help clients protect, grow, and transfer wealth across generations.

Planning in advance of unforeseen litigation or financial exposure is at the core of effective asset protection. As litigation and creditor risks continue to rise, proactive planning has become essential for individuals and families with substantial assets.

Our singular focus is to help clients protect their wealth, preserve their legacy, and safeguard the businesses and assets they have spent a lifetime building.

Domestic and Foreign Asset Protection Trusts

Advanced asset protection planning is designed to help safeguard wealth from future creditor and litigation risks before problems arise. Domestic asset protection structures can provide meaningful layers of protection, but they may still remain subject to court jurisdiction and judicial remedies that can restrict access to cash flow and lifestyle support.

For clients requiring a higher level of protection, foreign asset protection trusts may offer additional strategic advantages. Since 1990, the Cook Islands have been widely regarded as one of the world's leading jurisdictions for offshore asset protection planning, with a long-established legal framework designed to protect trust assets from future creditor claims.

The stronger the legal barriers surrounding assets, the greater the leverage clients often have in resolving disputes efficiently and favorably.

IRA Rescue Plan

The IRA Rescue Plan was designed to help protect retirement assets from future creditor and litigation risks while preserving the income tax advantages associated with qualified retirement accounts.

Depending on state law, certain IRA assets may remain vulnerable to future lawsuits or creditor claims. The IRA Rescue Plan combines advanced asset protection strategies with jurisdictions offering stronger protective trust laws to help safeguard retirement wealth and preserve long-term financial security for future generations.

By integrating tax-efficient planning with enhanced asset protection structures, the IRA Rescue Plan provides affluent individuals and families with a more comprehensive approach to retirement asset preservation.

Private Retirement Plan™

Protecting Wealth in a Highly Litigious Environment

You've worked hard to build your wealth, business interests, retirement assets, and financial security. Yet California remains one of the most litigious states in the country, exposing affluent individuals and business owners to increasing creditor and lawsuit risks.

A Private Retirement Plan™ (PRP), authorized under California Code of Civil Procedure §704.115, offers one of the most effective and underutilized asset protection strategies available.

Securing Retirement & Business Assets

A properly structured PRP allows qualifying retirement assets to remain protected from future creditors and legal judgments, including many bankruptcy-related claims. Depending on the structure, assets may include:

  • Cash & Savings
  • Stocks & Bonds
  • Business Profits
  • Real Estate
  • Notes & Investment Interests
  • Corporate Stock & Private Business Interests

Unlike traditional ERISA-qualified plans, the PRP offers substantially greater flexibility without many of the strict funding and compliance requirements associated with conventional retirement plans.

Key Benefits of a Private Retirement Plan™

  • No annual IRS filing requirements
  • No statutory contribution limits
  • No requirement to include employees
  • Flexible investment options
  • Potential income tax advantages with proper planning
  • Enhanced protection from future creditor and litigation claims

Long-Term Protection for What You've Built

For affluent families, professionals, and business owners seeking advanced asset protection strategies, a Private Retirement Plan™ can serve as a powerful component of a broader wealth preservation and risk management plan.

Protecting the Equity in Your Residence

Transferring Your Home to an Irrevocable Dynasty Trust

Protecting the equity in your primary residence or vacation home from future creditor and litigation risks can present significant challenges for affluent families and business owners.

Through carefully structured irrevocable dynasty trust planning, homeowners may be able to transfer residential assets into long-term protective structures designed to preserve home equity, strengthen asset protection, and support multi-generational wealth planning objectives.

By converting from owner to tenant through advanced trust and lease-back strategies, clients may enhance protection from future creditors while maintaining continued use and enjoyment of the property.

When properly structured, these strategies can serve as a powerful component of a comprehensive estate, asset protection, and legacy preservation plan.
