Las Vegas Asset Protection Lawyers

Last updated on June 30, 2026

Family owned and operated since 2002, Cassady Law Offices, P.C., provides asset protection services to individuals in Las Vegas, Henderson and throughout Southern Nevada. Our firm utilizes traditional and cutting-edge planning tools to help our clients keep their assets beyond the reach of creditors and financially destructive circumstances such as lawsuits, catastrophic illness and divorce. You do not have to be wealthy to benefit from these tools; if you have any assets, you should consider protecting them.

Comprehensive Asset Protection Options

Our founding attorney, Jasen Cassady, is a certified financial planner with a Master of Laws degree in taxation from the University of Florida, one of the top programs in the United States. This background allows him to effectively advise and protect individuals with substantial assets, beneficiaries of trust funds, business owners and those in high-risk professions.

Our lawyers will work closely with you to identify your specific goals and concerns so we can tailor an asset protection plan to your specific needs. Some options you may consider include:

• Nevada asset protection trust – This trust is designed to protect doctors, lawyers, construction company owners and others in high-risk professions. We will review your situation to determine if a Nevada asset protection trust (also called a self-settled spendthrift trust) would help minimize any liability associated with legal or medical malpractice or other legal claims.
• Limited liability companies (LLCs) – Organizing a limited liability company (LLC) can protect doctors, lawyers, owners of rental properties and others from risk to their personal property. This proactive measure separates a business owner’s personal property from the business’s property so that only business assets are exposed when legal claims are made against the company.

What Is The Importance Of Asset Protection Planning In Nevada?

Asset protection planning matters because financial risk can arise before you expect it. A lawsuit, creditor claim, illness or divorce can put both personal and business assets at risk. Nevada offers strong planning options for people who want to act early, but timing matters. Asset protection works best when you set it up before a claim, debt or legal dispute begins.

Asset protection planning does not aim to hide assets or avoid valid debts. Instead, it uses legal tools to organize ownership, reduce risk and separate different types of assets. Common risks that make planning important include:

• Lawsuits tied to professional services, property or business activity
• Creditor claims after financial hardship or business loss
• Divorce or family financial disputes
• Business liability from employees, contracts or customers
• Real estate risks involving tenants or visitors
• Serious illness or long-term care costs
• Personal guarantees or debts linked to business ownership

A strong plan helps protect wealth, reduce risk and support long-term financial stability for you and your family. We can review your assets, concerns and goals to help you choose the right Nevada asset protection strategies.

Who Can Benefit From Asset Protection Planning In Nevada?

Asset protection planning helps many people, not just those with high wealth. If you own a home, run a business, hold investments or expect an inheritance, you likely have assets that need protection.

This planning often helps business owners, doctors, lawyers, contractors, landlords, investors, retirees and families who want to pass assets to future generations. It also helps people who plan to start a business, make a large purchase, receive a settlement or prepare for retirement.

The best plan depends on your assets, how you hold them and the risks you face. We can work with you to review your situation and find options that match your goals.

How Does Asset Protection Planning Work For Different Professions In Nevada?

Asset protection planning changes based on your job, your level of risk and the assets you own. We start by finding where claims may come from and how they could affect your personal and business property.

Different professions face different risks, such as:

• Doctors: Malpractice claims, practice ownership and personal liability
• Lawyers: Professional liability, partnership duties and business debts
• Contractors: Jobsite injuries, construction defects and contract disputes
• Landlords: Tenant claims, property risks and liability issues
• Business owners: Risks from customers, vendors, employees and contracts
• Individuals with significant assets: Inheritance, investments and real estate

Each situation differs, so no single plan fits everyone. We can review your risks and help you build a strategy that fits your needs.

Answers To Common Questions About Asset Protection

Below, we’ve provided answers to some of the most frequent questions we receive from clients. After reading, we invite you to contact us for answers to your own questions.

What kinds of assets can be protected?

A great many assets can be protected, depending on the specific legal instrument you utilize. They include things like:

• Retirement savings
• Real estate equity (whether in your home or in other owned real estate)
• Business assets and overall business value
• College funds and other money set aside for your children’s education

These are just a few of many examples. We can provide feedback on your own asset protection options during an initial consultation.

What are the advantages of establishing a trust in Nevada?

Nevada is one of the most favorable places in the country to establish an asset protection trust. Since 1999, Nevada laws have allowed trust grantors the ability to create a trust that protects their own assets from their own future creditors (rather than simply protecting assets on behalf of another beneficiary). Ours is one of only a few states to allow this. When assets are transferred to a self-settled trust in Nevada, they become shielded from creditors more quickly than in other states, which is another advantage.

When should I begin asset protection planning?

If you have significant assets to protect or expect to come into significant assets soon (through an inheritance, for example), now is a great time to start the asset protection process. As with all major financial decisions, it is far easier and more effective to be proactive than to be reactive.

Do I need asset protection planning if I have insurance coverage?

Some forms of insurance can be part of your overall asset protection strategy. However, insurance alone typically cannot offer the same level of protection as a trust or other legal instruments. The tools and strategies you use will depend on your assets and your goals for them, so it’s best to consult with an experienced attorney.
