The term Asset Protection (AP) is given to a collection of legal
and financial strategies with a simple aim, making sure that your wealth
stays yours. That should be easy, but in a litigious society there are
plenty of people ready to use the flimsiest of excuses to try to steal
your money.

If unscrupulous litigants take away your retirement funds, you will be dependent on the state to care for you in later years. If a prudent risk could wipe out years of success, you would not take that risk, even if it were beneficial to society. Helping you protect your assets is good public policy. As a result, there a number of highly effective and very fair laws in place that you should take advantage of.
