PRIVATE RETIREMENT TRUST (PRT)
Is there anything you can do to protect your retirement in California? The short answer is “yes!” Under a little known and misunderstood California Creditor Exemption Statute (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 704.115), residents of California have a very powerful exemption for private retirement known as a “Private Retirement Trust” or “PRT.”
When properly created and implemented, a PRT exempts all identified retirement assets from creditors, including bankruptcies and lawsuits. With proper asset qualification and supportable retirement analytics (i.e., a “Retirement Appraisal”), you can afford yourself the most protective exemption protection for your retirement assets that California has to offer.
