Revocable Trust Asset Protection
Summary
Revocable trusts in North Carolina generally do not protect assets from creditors, as control is retained. Irrevocable trusts offer better protection by relinquishing control. Asset protection trusts, typically irrevocable, shield assets from creditors. For LLCs, maintaining separation between personal and business finances and adhering to corporate formalities can prevent personal liabilities from affecting the LLC. Instances where an LLC could be sued include commingling funds, failing to adhere to corporate formalities, undercapitalization, or personally guaranteeing LLC debts.
