The Quantum Living Trust Asset Protection Trust (Non-Medicaid)

The Quantum Living Trust®: A Powerful Blend of Asset Protection and Estate Planning

The Quantum Living Trust® (QLT) is a distinctive planning vehicle that combines the strength of advanced Asset Protection with the flexibility of Estate Planning — all in one trust. Much like its “big brother,” the Bridge Trust®,  which starts off as an irrevocable Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) with the ability to become a Foreign Asset Protection Trust (FAPT) if attacked, the QLT starts as a revocable living trust but turns into an irrevocable DAPT if attacked, and also can turn into a FAPT. With this structure, the Grantors (either an individual or married couple) create the trust for their own benefit. At the same time, spendthrift provisions safeguard the assets if creditors or courts attempt to reach them.

Why the Quantum Trust™ Is Different

Unlike a typical revocable living trust done for estate planning, the QLT is designed to become irrevocable if attacked, which provides valuable DAPT protection under numerous U.S. state laws and, in the event those U.S. laws may fail, allows the trust to be moved offshore to become a FAPT. At the same time, the QT addresses estate planning goals through dispositive provisions in the trust, ensuring a seamless transfer of assets to beneficiaries at death.

Built-In Offshore Protection

One of the QLT’s most powerful features is its ability to “trigger” offshore if necessary:

  • In many cases, the very existence of the QLT is enough to discourage litigation.

  • If a serious lawsuit or judgment threat arises, the trust can be internationalized, transforming into a full FAPT/ International Asset Protection Trust.

  • Once offshore, the QLT benefits from the protections of the foreign jurisdiction. Assets — including home equity and other real estate — can be moved or “stripped” to a foreign institution if required.

Because the QLT is already funded and has the ability to become irrevocable built into it from the start, this triggering mechanism is allowed and can become fully effective if and when a lawsuit threat materializes.

Cost-Effective Protection

With a relatively low initial investment and modest maintenance expenses, the Quantum Trust™ is an ideal choice for families with moderate risk profiles who want both estate and asset protection planning in one tool.

Taking the Next Step

The best way to determine whether your assets are at risk and what strategies are available to protect them is through an Asset Protection Analysis done during an initial consultation. During this confidential review, we evaluate:

  • Your risk exposure

  • Your asset classifications

  • Your personal and family objectives

From there, we recommend the planning tools best suited to your situation.

Peace of Mind for You and Your Family

Taking control of your financial, estate, and asset protection planning is essential to achieving lasting peace of mind. The Quantum Trust™ provides a powerful, practical, and cost-effective way to safeguard your wealth today and ensure a smooth legacy for tomorrow.
