Errol Devon, founder of Legacy Professional Trustees, has earned the prestigious title of Best Irrevocable Trust & Asset Architecture Strategist in the U.S. of 2026, awarded by Best of Best Reviews. This recognition highlights Devon's innovative approach to asset protection and legacy planning, which has set him apart in a field traditionally reserved for ultra-high-net-worth families.

Leading the Charge in Asset Protection

For families across the United States, safeguarding wealth and ensuring a smooth transfer of assets across generations is of utmost importance. Errol Devon, with his firm Legacy Professional Trustees, offers an innovative, proactive solution to the growing financial risks families face. His focus on structural durability, rather than traditional estate planning, addresses systemic vulnerabilities that often lead to wealth erosion over time.

With the rising cost of long-term care, averaging between $90,000 and $120,000 annually, and the looming threat of Medicaid estate recovery programs targeting the homes of seniors, many families are unknowingly exposed to severe financial risks. Devon’s work seeks to change this by educating clients and creating structures designed to proactively shield their assets.

Rising Long-Term Care Costs and the Need for Proactive Planning

As long-term care costs continue to escalate, many families are finding their traditional plans inadequate. Federal law mandates Medicaid estate recovery, requiring states to place liens on the homes of seniors who receive Medicaid benefits. With over 70% of Americans over 65 expected to require long-term care, Devon’s foresight has proven invaluable.

What sets Legacy Professional Trustees apart is its focus on prevention, ensuring clients are not left vulnerable when the unexpected occurs. Through irrevocable trust structures, operating entities, and fiduciary administration frameworks, the firm builds protective layers to shield assets from both creditor threats and Medicaid estate recovery programs.

Changing the Conversation on Wealth Protection

Devon’s work shifts the focus from simply growing wealth to preserving it. "Most families don’t lose wealth in one dramatic event. They lose it slowly,  through court fees, care costs, administrative friction, and structural oversights," says Devon. This mindset is central to his mission of educating middle- and upper-middle-class families, who may not realize that their existing estate plans are insufficient for long-term protection.

Through his educational presentations, Devon provides clarity not only on asset protection but on the systemic risks many families overlook. His reputation for straightforward, clear communication has attracted a growing following of clients eager to address the complexities of long-term care, probate, and Medicaid with strategic planning rather than waiting for a crisis.

Planning Before the Storm

What truly makes Legacy Professional Trustees exceptional is Devon’s emphasis on prevention. While most professionals provide services after a crisis or legal challenge, Devon advocates for early, intentional planning. “Having a trust and being protected are not the same thing,” Devon emphasizes. He encourages families to structure their assets long before they face the risks of estate recovery or the financial burden of long-term care.
