Asset Protection Overview - State by State: Part Six

Michigan

From an asset protection viewpoint, the state of Michigan offers a mixed bag. Only nominal protection is given to the homestead. However, the cash value in properly structured life insurance and annuity contracts can be protected.

Minnesota

The state of Minnesota does the opposite of the normal upper-Midwestern trend of not protecting real estate, but protecting life insurance. While the homestead exemption is not unlimited like the states of Texas and Florida, Minnesota does offers a realistic $200,000 homestead exemption for urban residential property and $500,000 for rural property, which is adjusted for inflation every other year. There are some modest protections given for IRAs and Pension Plans.

Mississippi

Mississippi is a marginally pro-creditor state. Mississippi offers modest homestead protection, and some protection for properly protected insurance arrangements.

Missouri
