Asset Protection Planning

Lubbock Asset Protection Planning Attorneys

Texas is a place where people who owe money can go to escape their debts. For over a hundred years, the saying that someone “has gone to Texas” could mean they moved there, but it often meant they left their hometown to avoid paying their debts.

This tradition still exists today.

The Texas Constitution, the Business Organizations Code, and the Property Code have laws that allow individuals and businesses to create legally solid structures to protect their money and assets from a plaintiff taking them in a lawsuit.

These laws make Texas a good place for protecting your assets. Our Lubbock asset protection lawyers will help you understand this fascinating part of Texas history and how it applies to your assets.

What Is the Texas Homestead Law?

The Texas Homestead Law is a crucial legal provision designed to safeguard homeowners from the forced sale of their primary residence in the face of certain debts.

This law limits the size of protected properties, offers property tax reductions, and ensures surviving spouses’ continued occupancy and ownership rights.

There are limitations. It does not cover all debts and mandates compliance with specific residency and occupancy requirements.

Given the complexity of the law and its application, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional or attorney focusing on Texas real estate and property law.

They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation, helping you navigate the intricacies of the Texas Homestead Law and protect your home effectively.
