Errol Devon’s approach to asset protection focuses on proactive strategies that protect American families from invisible financial risks.
The hidden risks that threaten your family’s legacy
Picture this: a tech executive in his 40s, making a six-figure salary and doing everything right. She moved back home to care for her elderly mother, pay the mortgage and keep the household running. Her family’s future seemed secure, with only three mortgage payments left. Then, one day, a letter arrived that changed everything.
Medicaid had placed a lien on her childhood home, the last tangible piece of the family’s generational wealth. The reason? Rising long-term care costs, a problem most Americans overlook until it’s too late. The reality? This scenario is all too common.
Errol Devon, the founder of Legacy Professional Trustees, Inc., recognized these patterns early on. As an asset protection and fiduciary strategist, he has seen firsthand how financial risk can quietly erode a family’s hard-earned wealth. With average long-term care costs ranging from $90,000 to $120,000 per year and Medicaid estate recovery policies requiring reimbursement from an individual’s estate, more families are at risk of losing their estate without ever realizing it.
Devon’s mission: educate families about proactive protection
What started as a passion for helping middle-class entrepreneurs and families protect their wealth has grown into a mission to reshape the way Americans approach wealth planning. The traditional idea that having a trust relationship is enough to protect assets is seriously flawed. For Devon, protecting a family’s legacy is about more than just avoiding probate or drafting a few documents. It’s about anticipating risks long before they occur.
Most families assume that revocable trusts will secure their assets, but this misconception often leaves them vulnerable to long-term care costs, creditor claims, and Medicaid estate recovery. Devon’s strategy flips the script. Rather than focusing on reactive crisis management, he emphasizes preventive asset protection strategies that can withstand the pressures of modern financial realities.
He founded Legacy Professional Trustees with a single purpose: to provide institutional-level asset protection structures to everyday Americans. His firm specializes in irrevocable trust planning and layered fiduciary frameworks designed to protect families from exposure to long-term care, probate and other financial threats long before they become a crisis.
Why structural planning is more important than ever
The United States faces a massive wealth transfer, estimated at $80 trillion, from baby boomers to heirs over the next twenty years. But there is a significant gap between the wealth being passed on and the knowledge needed to protect it. Devon’s work focuses on bridging that gap, providing the kind of protections typically reserved for the ultra-wealthy to business owners, professionals and legacy families.
The problem with traditional estate planning is that it is often reactive. Families wait until a crisis occurs—a health care emergency, a financial disaster—before they consider protecting their assets. By then it’s too late. Devon advocates a proactive approach. His goal is to establish asset protection structures that prevent wealth erosion in the first place.
As Devon explains, “Wealth doesn’t disappear overnight. It is slowly eroded, through inheritance fees, long-term care costs, administrative frictions, and occasionally overlooked vulnerability.”
His company’s unique focus on structural sustainability, and not just documents, makes the difference. By combining irrevocable trusts, fiduciary management and asset segregation strategies, Devon’s clients can protect their assets from a range of potential threats, including the rising costs of long-term care.
What sets Legacy Professional Trustees apart?
The difference between Devon and other estate planning professionals lies in his approach. Many advisors focus on drafting documents such as wills, revocable trusts, and power of attorney forms. While these documents are important, they do not provide the full protection a family needs. However, Devon’s strategy is about creating robust structures that anticipate risk and protect assets throughout a person’s life, not just after death.
“Documents alone do not protect families,” Devon says. “It’s the structure behind it that provides real protection.”
His unique blend of financial structuring, regulatory compliance and educational advocacy is what sets Legacy Professional Trustees apart. Devon takes the time to explain complex asset protection strategies in simple, clear terms so that his clients understand not only how the protection works, but also the long-term benefits it provides.
Devon’s preventive philosophy is also a key differentiator. While most conversations about asset protection begin after a financial crisis, his approach begins before the threat occurs. He works with families to create plans that anticipate future risks, such as exposure to long-term care, creditor claims and estate recovery, while ensuring protections are legally sound and financially sustainable.
Award-winning excellence in asset protection
Recently, Errol Devon was named the Best Irrevocable Trust and Asset Architecture Strategist in the US 2026 Through The best of the best reviews. This prestigious award recognizes his innovative approach to asset protection and estate planning, setting him apart in an area traditionally reserved for ultra-high net worth families. This recognition is a testament to his leadership and the lasting impact of his work, helping families protect their wealth with proactive strategies.
The financial wake-up call every family needs
As more families face the dual challenges of rising long-term care costs and the looming enforcement of Medicaid probate policies, the need for proactive planning has never been more critical. The idea that having a trust automatically means protection is increasingly challenged by the current regulatory and economic environment.
“The conversation in America is shifting from how to grow wealth to how to preserve it,” Devon says. “Asset protection should not be reserved for the ultra-wealthy. It should be accessible to anyone who wants to protect their family’s legacy.”
For families facing the reality of the costs of long-term care and the financial vulnerabilities that come with it, Devon’s approach is the solution. Through Legacy Professional Trustees, Devon offers an alternative to traditional estate planning, giving families the opportunity to build structural frameworks that will stand the test of time.
