Asset Protection Overview - State by State: Part Eight

New Jersey

New Jersey is a creditor-friendly state that offers no homestead exemption but does have some protection to properly structured insurance arrangements.

New Mexico

The state of New Mexico offers a nominal homestead exemption, but protects life insurance arrangements if the beneficiary should be a resident of New Mexico. However, this is a unique restriction and may be contestable on Constitutional grounds.

New York

New York provides a pathetically small homestead exemption, does not give annuities any kind of meaningful protection, and makes it difficult to protect life insurance. Needless to say, anyone who plans on moving to New York will need a great deal of asset protection planning.

North Carolina

North Carolina chose not to be part of the federal bankruptcy exemption structure, which means that a North Carolina debtor has to choose the state bankruptcy exemptions.
