Description

Michigan enacted a statute for Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPT) for Michigan residents. This enables the transfer of property to the DAPT while retaining the right to receive benefits from the DAPT. Prior to the enactment of this legislation, creditors had access to these assets. If the facts are properly documented and the DAPT is property administered, creditors will largely be unable to reach these assets. Learn about setting up and administering DAPTs and the impact of Michigan’s new voidable Transfer Act (formerly the Fraudulent Transfer Act.)
