In Ohio there are very limited ways that one can implement Asset Protection.

There is no protection from outside entities or creditors regarding what has been transferred into the living trust.

In other words, a living trust is known as a revocable trust. Living trusts are not considered a vehicle for asset protection. A living trust is used mainly to allow assets to transfer at death without going through probate or to allow a co-trustee or successor trustee manage assets in the event of incapacity of the settlor of the trust.

Living Trusts Are Revocable And Not An Asset Protection Tool.

So there are Invokable Trusts, Also Irrevocable Trust's.

All of these types of Trust's are all protected and warranted under the Ohio Revised Code.

Also there are two documents that govern these type of transactions.

1. Ohio Trust Act

2. Ohio Fraudulent Transaction Act

Both of the above are part of the Ohio Revised Code and Ohio Unified Code.

The Ohio Unified Code is also known and mentioned as part of what Ohioans know as Ohio Revised Statutory Code.

One type of an Ohio Irrevocable Trust would allow you to have a Trust checking account.

This account is changeable up until the party's death.

Particularly, this type of Asset Protection Trust is one that I personally use.

The reason that this is a great asset protection tool is because, It's only taxed and implemented at the State's level.

Which for you means, It's not Federally taxed.

There's also no Probate Court appointment at time of death.

All the above are good reason's indeed to use the protection of asset's with the Irrevocable Trust right in Ohio.

One of the number one reasons is, Your survivors will be able to get hold of the money without probate.

You would truly rest in peace knowing there taken care of.

All of the above should be watched carefully.

There's many a twist and turn, A wrong move could put you in a problem with the State of Ohio.

Which could possibly lead to prison.

None of this should be taken for the advice of an Attorney.

Your Attorney will know the ins and outs and how to protect you.
