Asset protection attorney in New York
Protecting What You Have Built
Resko Law Office PC designs practical plans to reduce risk from lawsuits and creditors in New York. An asset protection attorney New York clients trust will ask about your work, properties, and family, then recommend tools that fit your goals. This planning is common for landlords with units in Park Slope or the Upper West Side, doctors and professionals with exposure, and families in Westchester who want to plan for long-term care costs.
Title & Due Diligence
We coordinate searches, insurance, and payoff statements while flagging issues early.
Legal Tools for Asset Protection
Irrevocable trusts can move certain assets out of reach when set up correctly and early enough. A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust may help with eligibility after New York’s look-back period. LLCs and family entities can hold rental property and separate business risk from personal accounts. Insurance and retirement accounts can add layers of protection. We explain timing, tradeoffs, and funding so each step is clear. For clients who also need wills or living trusts, we align with wills & trusts to keep everything consistent.
Timing and Ethics You Can Rely On
Good planning happens before problems start. We do not hide assets or support fraudulent transfers. We use lawful, transparent steps that stand up to scrutiny. If your plan includes a company or contract updates, we coordinate with
business law so agreements and ownership reflect your structure.
Integrating with Your Broader Plan
Asset protection works best as part of a full estate planning conversation. We connect titles, beneficiary forms, and trust funding so accounts, real estate, and business interests move the right way at the right time.
New York Considerations
New York has specific rules for Medicaid eligibility and no domestic asset protection trust statute. With early action and the right mix of tools, meaningful protection is still possible. We will lay out realistic timelines and next steps.
