Private Retirement Trust: A Benefit to Living in California

California boasts a relatively unknown, underutilized, yet extremely potent creditor exemption statute to its residents. The “Private Retirement Trust” or “PRT” captures this exemption. When properly created and implemented, a PRT exempts all identified retirement assets from money judgment creditors and bankruptcies. Residents can benefit from the most effective exemption protection for retirement assets that California has to offer with proper asset qualification, supportable retirement analytics, and annual administration.
