Alternatives to Domestic Asset Protection Trusts
Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2018
Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm
Location: Bella Notte Restaurant, Jackson, Michigan
Speaker: John Mabley, Ric Walton, Kyle O'Malley
The Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) is a relatively new estate planning option for Michiganders. The DAPT allows a person to create an irrevocable trust, title assets in the trust, have those assets provide for their future needs, while also protecting those assets from the person’s future creditors. We recognize that the DAPT may not be right for everyone.
At the February 2018 meeting, Attorney John Mabley of Chalgian & Tripp Law Offices will share his experience of clients who need such protection but are not a good fit for DAPT and provide examples of alternatives. Ric Walton and Kyle O'Malley of the Walton Insurance Group will inform the group on what products are available for clients who have significant wealth and have significant risks of being sued, but likewise are still not a good fit for DAPTs.
Speakers: Moderated by Carmencita Fulgado-Taylor. This 3-speaker panel of experts will address questions from the moderator and attendees. Please either email questions to the moderator ahead of time (carmencita@mielderlaw.com), or come with questions. This will be an interactive presentation.
