Hmmm.. I guess I don't understand why anyone would maintain an umbrella policy for their entire net worth.
It is that my understanding that 401ks are not subject to collections under current Federal law and it has been this way for quite some time.
Depending on your state law, IRAs may also be protected.
I believe also that the income from Social Security and DB pensions are also protected.
If I were to get an umbrella policy, I would, at a maximum, only cover my unprotected assets -- ie. real estate, after tax accounts etc.
Perhaps the risk is that these asset protection laws could change at some point in the future perhaps.
