Nevada Attorney Steve Oshins has released his 11th Annual Domestic Asset Protection Chart at this link. Connecticut and Indiana are the latest additions to the list of states having DAPT statutes. Connecticut is ranked #5 and Indiana #10.
Connecticut’s #5 ranking will likely shock almost everybody in the estate planning industry simply because it’s just not supposed to happen. But the Chart has never been about which state markets itself the best or which states are perceived to be legislatively proactive. The Chart rewards the states with the most protective DAPT statutes regardless of the states’ reputations.
