If you are forced to leave the U.S., you don't have to lose your home or your car. We set up a trust and help you get the money to make the move and keep paying your mortgage and car loan so nothing goes into default.
Your trust is reviewed and signed off by a licensed attorney in your state.
*Subject to equity guidelines.
Under 8 U.S.C. § 1324d, once an immigration judge issues a final order of removal, DHS may seek civil penalties of up to $998 for each day a person willfully fails to depart or cooperate with travel-document requirements (2025 inflation-adjusted amount).
If a civil penalty is assessed and unpaid, the federal government can pursue collection — including liens against property in your name.
Rental income and sale proceeds from property in your personal name may be reachable by federal collection actions while penalties continue to accrue.
An attorney-supervised trust set up in advance is one planning tool that may help separate the management of your property from personal enforcement actions. Results depend on your facts and applicable law.
Pay, then talk with the AI or type your answers. We pull your home and car info and figure out your equity.
A licensed attorney in your state checks it, fixes anything wrong, and signs the trust.
If ICE shows up, your family hits one button in the app. The trust kicks in, money comes out, and the bills get paid.
If ICE takes you, the real question is: who is in charge of your stuff? Pick the plan that fits you.
A spouse or chosen person you name as successor trustee can manage trust-held property, pay trust expenses, communicate with lenders and landlords, and act for matters covered by the trust documents and a separate power of attorney. A trust does not by itself shield property from all federal claims — it is one planning tool reviewed by your attorney.
An independent Florida-licensed attorney, separately retained, may serve as trustee to hold trust-titled property under the trust agreement. A licensed property manager can rent or sell the property; net proceeds are held in the attorney's IOLTA-type account and disbursed under the trust's terms.
Hundreds of deported people signed their house, car, or bank over to a friend or relative — and then that person stopped picking up the phone. Once you are out of the country, there is almost nothing you can do.
This is not rare. It happens almost every time someone is deported and can't stay here to defend what they built.
A separate pro se self-help packet — developed under the supervision of licensed immigration attorneys — for a family member who has been detained and wishes to file pro se. Includes a pre-populated habeas corpus questionnaire (28 U.S.C. § 2241), IFP forms, mailing instructions, and a tracked case file. The petitioner files pro se; we do not appear as counsel.
DetencionDefensa.com is a separate service operated alongside SaveMyHomeTrust. We are not a law firm; the self-help packet is developed under the supervision of licensed immigration attorneys and is intended for pro se filing. This is not legal advice; the hiring of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.
Our software collects your information and prepares an intake packet. A licensed attorney in your state then drafts, reviews, and signs your trust documents. We keep your records in a private vault.
These are the basic plan fees only. Transfer fees, property transfer and closing costs, vehicle towing and storage, and other expenses for property management, repair, and maintenance are paid from the property's income — not out of your pocket up front. A monthly management fee is paid to an independent asset management company (not affiliated with the law firm) under contract to you, the homeowner, through the law firm.
No. We are a tech company. Your trust is written with our software and then reviewed and signed by a licensed attorney in your state. That attorney is your lawyer — we are not.
Every week without a plan is a week your property and family are left without one.
