TPS Holders.
You built a life here. A change in status, a missed re-registration, or an enforcement action shouldn't be allowed to erase it. The right documents — signed now, quietly — let a trusted person keep your home, your wages, your accounts, and your children safe, whether you're detained, removed, or simply have to travel on short notice.
The plan has to exist before the phone call — not after.
Once you're detained, in transit, or already back home, options collapse fast. Banks won't release funds. Landlords won't return deposits. Employers freeze final paychecks. Schools won't discuss your children with anyone whose name isn't on file. Every one of those doors stays open — but only for people whose paperwork was done in a calm room, months earlier. That's the entire point of this engagement.
This is the same private-client treatment a business owner or executive would receive planning for a sudden move abroad. We just tune every document to the reality TPS families actually face.
The TPS-holder document stack
- Durable financial power of attorney — drafted to survive detention or removal
- Healthcare power of attorney and advance directive
- Standby guardianship for U.S.-citizen children
- Revocable living trust to hold home, vehicles, and accounts
- Transfer-on-death deed or LLC for real estate, where allowed
- POD/TOD designations on every bank and brokerage account
- Wage-recovery authorization and final-paycheck instructions
- Encrypted document vault — passports, EADs, titles, approvals
What we help you protect
- The home — sold, rented, or held in trust on your instructions
- Vehicles and titled property, transferable without probate
- Bank, brokerage, and retirement accounts
- Wages, PTO payouts, and final-paycheck rights
- Business ownership, tools, and equipment
- U.S.-citizen children — guardian, school, healthcare
- Family members you financially support here or abroad
- Cross-border transfers, sequenced to avoid tax and compliance flags
Moving assets to family — the right way, in the right order.
There is nothing improper about moving property, savings, or business ownership to family in your home country. It just has to be done in a sequence that survives scrutiny — timed correctly, documented cleanly, and structured so nothing is later unwound as a rushed or fraudulent transfer. We coordinate the sequence with your tax preparer and, where appropriate, your immigration counsel, and we keep the paper trail in one private file.
For families who want to keep U.S. assets under U.S. control while you're abroad, a funded revocable trust with a U.S.-resident successor trustee is usually the strongest structure. For families who want to fully repatriate, we sequence sales, deed transfers, and international wires to preserve value.

Nothing here is reported to any agency.
Estate planning is private-law work. Powers of attorney, trusts, wills, and guardianship designations are not filed with USCIS, ICE, the IRS, or any employer. They live in your file with us and in the hands of the people you choose. When you want your immigration attorney or tax preparer in the loop, we coordinate directly. When you don't, we don't. The engagement is yours.
