Not many people in Miami understand the importance of asset protection. Asset protection is invaluable as it protects some possible assets from being used in the settlement of bankruptcy cases, should you ever need to file a bankruptcy. While the hope is to never file for bankruptcy, planning for the possibility may save you much money and stress in the end.

Federal and state laws regulate the rules of asset protection. If you file for bankruptcy and try to utilize asset protection after the fact, it would be considered fraud, regardless of where you live. So planning in advance is the key to keeping as much of your assets as possible.
