Which Assets Are Exempt from Creditors in Florida?
Not everything you own can be claimed by your creditors. In fact, Florida law provides seven classes under which assets can be protected.
These classes are as follows:
- Your homestead, as long as it’s owned by a natural person and is one-half acre or smaller in a city or municipality, or up to 160 acres outside of a city or municipality.
- The cash value and proceeds from both life insurance policies and annuities, including interest earned in certain plans and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).
- Wages paid to the head of a household who’s not in control of their own salary.
- Property owned between spouses as “tenants by the entirety,” where only claims against one spouse can be exempted
Leveraging these exemptions properly can provide stronger asset protection than other strategies that merely protect property, such as those that involve limited liability companies (LLCs) and limited liability partnerships.
Regardless, your strategy must be unique to your needs and how you hold your assets. Our asset protection lawyers in Fort Walton Beach have the experience and skill it takes to advise you of the options that can help you meet your goals.

"Team Garrett"I was so glad that I found Chris Garrett and was able to have him take my case. He answered all my questions and really listened to me. My case lasted for over 9 months, also had another charge added. I know that he fought for me all the way, he kept me out of jail and from losing everything I had. I highly recommend him and his great staff, no matter what your legal problem is. Also want to add that Angela was fantastic throughout the whole process.- Michael Buckner

"The man is truly a blessing. If you find yourself in any kind of similar situation call Mr. Christopher Wayne Garrett!"Let me start by wishing I could put 10 stars! I was in a horrible situation when I contacted Mr. Garrett. I was arrested and charged with a 2nd DUI within a two year span and was ultimately facing jail time. His services are reasonably priced, and he worked on my case diligently. I never had to set foot in a courtroom. my mindset from the beginning was that the best case scenario was that my charges would be dropped to a lesser charge. Which still would have hurt me financially and put my job in jeopardy. After a few continuances so Mr. Garrett had time to review my case, I got an unexpected call. The call was to inform me that my case was DISMISSED!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. Through his knowledge of the legal system and persistence he was able to get my case thrown out. The man is truly a blessing. If you find yourself in any kind of similar situation call Mr. Christopher Wayne Garrett!- Tyler
