Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Trust to protect assets from seizure
I may have a bankruptcy case. Is there a way to protect my assets by changing my revocable living trust to another type trust with my children as trustees/owners, or whatever?

Re: Trust to protect assets from seizure
Generally speaking such a transfer in contemplation of bankruptcy would be considered fraudulent and set aside. You should check with a bankruptcy lawyer because the Texas and Federal Exemptions are very generous.
