The key to protecting your separate property is to include it in your asset protection strategies within your estate plan. Often, this means transferring the assets into a trust to ensure that they are kept separate and not unintentionally co-mingled. If you own property prior to the marriage, you should take steps to protect it prior to the marriage occurring. If you inherit property during the marriage, or otherwise obtain property you wish to be kept separate, it should be included in your asset protection strategies.
