BLUFFTON ASSET PROTECTION LAWYER
Protect What You’ve Built. Preserve Your Legacy.
You’ve worked hard to build a life of value — a home, savings, a business, or generational wealth. But without a smart legal plan, it could all be vulnerable to lawsuits, long-term care costs, divorce, debt, or even family conflict.
At LowcoTerra Law Firm, we help families across South Carolina protect what matters most with custom asset protection strategies rooted in clarity, legality, and legacy.
What Is Asset Protection?
Asset protection is the legal process of safeguarding your wealth, property, and legacy from potential threats — before those threats arise.
It’s not about hiding money. It’s about using trusted legal tools to:
Avoid unnecessary loss to lawsuits or liability
Shield assets from long-term care and Medicaid spend-down
Prevent a child’s inheritance from being lost to divorce or creditors
Make sure your assets are used exactly as you intend
Whether you’re a retiree, a parent, or a high-risk professional, we help you build a wall of legal protection — so your hard work supports the next generation, not someone else's lawsuit or bill.
What Happens If You Don’t Protect Your Assets?
Without an asset protection plan:
Your home and savings could be drained to pay for nursing home care
Your children’s inheritance could be lost in a divorce or lawsuit
A sudden accident or lawsuit could threaten your business or personal assets
Family members could fight over money or mismanage what you leave behind
The time to plan is before something happens. Once the crisis hits, your options shrink.
Common Tools We Use for Asset Protection:
Irrevocable Trusts (including Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts)
Revocable Living Trusts (for control + probate avoidance)
LLCs and Business Entity Planning
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts (SLATs)
Lifetime Inheritance Trusts for children or grandchildren
Powers of Attorney and Advance Directives
Strategic Gifting and Tax Planning

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Yes — asset protection is entirely legal when done proactively and ethically. We use trusted legal tools recognized under South Carolina law.
-
Not with the right trust structure. We design plans that balance protection with the level of access and control you're comfortable with.
-
No — that can trigger penalties under Medicaid’s 5-year look-back rule and expose your assets to their creditors, divorces, or poor decisions.
