I have an umbrella and am considering increasing it. My question is related to that assets that are at risk if I were sued for basic liability.
It should go without saying, I am excluding situations where one might be sued for damages/penalties for criminal activity where no policy can shield assets.
It seems to me that I read something at one time that indicated that certain retirement assets are shielded from basic liability judgements. Of course, this may vary from state to state.
Questions:
1) Is this true? Can you cite any resources?
2) If true, which assets are shielded?
I figure this information might help me to determine if I need to bump up the amount of the umbrella.
