Protecting your assets requires strategic planning and a thorough understanding of the law in Georgia.

Without reputable legal guidance, your legacy could be at risk.
At Trotter Deems & King LLC, our deep roots in Cartersville and the Atlanta metropolitan area span over three decades. Our long-standing attorney team, including paralegals with decades of experience, has helped countless families across Bartow County create robust asset protection plans tailored to their unique needs. From crafting detailed asset protection plans to addressing Medicaid and long-term care concerns, our approach is designed to safeguard what matters most to you.
What Is Asset Protection, And Why Is It Important?
Asset protection involves structuring your financial affairs to guard against potential risks such as lawsuits, creditor claims or significant health care expenses. By taking proactive measures, you can:
- Reduce exposure to lawsuits or claims
- Help ensure eligibility for Medicaid while preserving assets
- Protect family wealth from estate taxes or mismanagement
- Secure your estate for future generations
Georgia laws offer tools such as irrevocable trusts, family limited partnerships and other legal avenues to achieve these goals.
Our Effective Strategies For Asset Protection
Asset protection is about safeguarding what you have worked hard to build. We implement the following strategies for our clients:
- Trust formation: Establishing irrevocable trusts, such as asset protection trusts, can shield assets from creditors while allowing you to retain some control over distributions.
- Medicaid planning: Proper planning can ensure eligibility for Medicaid benefits while protecting your assets from being spent down on long-term care.
- Business entity structuring: Separating personal and business assets through legal entities, including limited liability companies (LLCs) or corporations, can minimize exposure to business liabilities.
- Homestead exemptions: Leveraging Georgia’s legal exemptions to protect your primary residence from creditors.
- Gifting strategies: Transferring assets to loved ones or charitable organizations under federal gift tax limits can reduce estate tax liabilities.
Our lawyers’ approach focuses on implementing protective measures before any threats arise.
