Happily, I don't have a worrying situation at the moment, but sometimes life happens, so...
I have been told that my retirement investment is protected from an ex-spouse taking some of it in a divorce. (I don't have a spouse, nor an ex-spouse, so this isn't my concern, I'm simply trying to protect my assets from bad things.) What makes an asset protectable from ex-spouses, business lawsuits, whatever else? Besides retirement insurance policies, what other investment options are secure from others taking them?
What about the registered accounts (RRSP, RDSP, RESP)? Any other?
