Why Asset Protection Matters?

Assets Protection is a set of techniques or strategies used to protect assets belonging to an individual and/or business against the claims of third party, who tries to seize your wealth.

Assets are required to be protected to reduce the risk of losing your hard-earned property (Money, Real Estate Investments, Jewellery, Vehicles and Personal or Household Belongings).

Asset Protection is carried out by adopting various strategies such as:

1. Formation of Limited Liability Companies or Limited Partnerships

The separation of liabilities is a major key to asset protection. Setting up an LLC can prove to be more beneficial in securing your assets than you can ever imagine. The benefits a company grants its promoters and directors are far more advantageous than what being a sole proprietor can give.

2. Registration of Wills or Deeds

A legal declaration of a person wishes regarding the disposal of their assets after the death. Wills registration is the most desired and effective ones especially, when it comes to the assets protection of expatriates in the UAE.

3. Use of Assets Protection Trust or Foundation

Both the trust and foundation provide families with a local solution to manage their wealth protect their assets and plan for successions.
