In an increasingly dynamic and globalized economic environment, protecting family and business assets has become a priority. At JVD Consultores, a law firm based in Panama, we help individuals and companies shield their assets through solid, efficient, and tailored legal solutions.
What do we mean by asset protection?
Asset protection refers to a set of legal strategies aimed at preserving a person’s or company’s wealth from risks such as lawsuits, divorce, debt, corporate disputes, or unplanned inheritance issues.
It’s not just about holding assets in your name, but about designing legal structures that prevent unnecessary exposure.
Key Legal Strategies to Protect Your Assets
Establishing Corporations
Creating a corporation or a limited liability company separates personal assets from business assets. This limits liability to third parties and reduces risk from lawsuits or debts.
✅ In Panama, corporations offer privacy, flexibility, and protection against potential contingencies.
Trusts
A trust is an effective tool for protecting family assets, planning inheritances, or ensuring specific objectives are met. In a trust, assets are transferred to a trustee who manages them according to the terms agreed upon.
💡 Ideal for estate planning, protecting minor children or individuals with disabilities, and safeguarding assets from litigation.
Family Protocols
In family-owned businesses, protocols define rules for succession, governance, and conflict resolution. Implementing them helps preserve both wealth and family harmony.
Prenuptial Agreements
If you own a business or assets before marriage, a prenuptial agreement can help protect those assets in the event of divorce.
📌 In Panama, prenuptial agreements must be signed before a notary prior to the civil marriage to be legally valid.
Well-Drafted Contracts
Properly drafted commercial, labor, and corporate contracts help avoid future disputes. At JVD Consultores, we help you create solid contracts tailored to Panamanian law.
Why is legal advice important?
Every case is unique. An effective strategy depends on the type of assets, family situation, business structure, and specific risks.
Having the support of a specialized legal team in Panama, like JVD Consultores, ensures that every decision aligns with current regulations and your long-term goals.
