Abstract: 

Only five states have statutes that allow the settlor of a trust to establish a trust in which the settlor is a permissible beneficiary and which is also protected from the creditors of the settlor (a “self-settled spendthrift trust” or “asset protection trust”). Those states are Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Utah. Colorado and Missouri have statutes that are somewhat similar, but since there is a general belief that the statutes in those two states do not work, they are not included herein.
