A comprehensive asset protection plan will provide a level of protection for your assets in the event of an external creditor attack. Florida maximizes protection opportunities and thus is an excellent location to call “home.” Generally, an asset protection plan will consist of several layers of defense from creditors and will take into account estate planning and thus tax planning considerations.

These exemptions are predicated on Florida residency. In order to establish residency, you may need to cut ties with your former state of residence and become domiciled in Florida. This may be accomplished by obtaining a Florida driver’s license, establishing a Florida bank account, changing your voter registration to Florida, joining civic/religious/philanthropic organizations in your local community, and, of course, filing for Florida homestead status, if you own your home. Many affluent individuals establish Florida as home, while maintaining contacts in the state they spent most of their adult lives.
