I’m Max Dilendorf, a New York–based attorney and founder of Dilendorf Law Firm. In this video, we discuss one of the most important—but often overlooked—topics for founders, entrepreneurs, and investors: asset protection.
Many founders focus on building their companies, raising capital, and scaling operations. But protecting the wealth created from those efforts is just as important. One strategy that is increasingly discussed in the United States is the Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT).
While DAPTs are not recognized in every state, they can be very effective when established in jurisdictions with strong asset protection statutes—such as Wyoming or Nevada.
For example, a Wyoming Domestic Asset Protection Trust offers several advantages:
• Strong statutory asset protection laws
• A relatively short window for creditor claims
• No state income tax
• Favorable privacy protections
• Modern trust statutes designed for wealth preservation
When properly structured, founders may transfer certain assets—such as startup equity, cryptocurrency holdings, or personal investment portfolios—into a Wyoming trust as part of a long-term asset protection strategy.
If you are a founder, entrepreneur, or investor looking to protect your assets, early planning is key.
