    Strategic Structuring To Provide Peace Of Mind

Helping South Florida Residents Keep And Pass Along What They’ve Earned

Asset Protection Specific To Florida Assets And Out-Of-State Assets For Florida Residents

You’ve worked hard for what you’ve earned — we work hard at the Law Offices of Frye, Fortich & Garcia, P.L., to make sure you keep what you’ve earned. If you’re named in a Florida lawsuit, having a well-crafted Florida asset protection plan can be the difference between losing everything and keeping what is rightfully yours. Each of your assets should be protected against liabilities that can arise from another of your assets. With such high stakes, waiting to protect yourself is simply not an option.

Twenty-five years of experience with all Florida-specific laws and considerations such as:

  • Florida homestead exemption (debtor protection homestead provision)
  • Reduction of ad valorem property tax
  • Wage-earner accounts
  • Pensions, profit-sharing plans, IRAs
  • Disability insurance income
  • Out-of-state asset protection for Florida residents
  • Life insurance and annuity contracts
  • 529 savings and tuition plans
  • Florida corporations, partnerships and proprietorships

Two key ways we ensure your assets remain properly protected:

  1. We keep each of your Florida and out-of-state assets protected from liabilities that can stem from your other assets by protecting your individual assets, as well as optimizing overall entity and trust structuring.
  2. Our lawyers review and update your entities and protective structuring as new federal as well as state laws and rulings are established.

Superior Asset Protection Strategies And Tactics

  • Optimizing entity and trust structuring
  • Instituting irrevocable trusts
  • Protecting wages via wage accounts
  • Ensuring pension/profit sharing/401(k)/IRA assets can’t be penetrated
  • Establishing individual and/or family LLCs and LLPs
