Privacy Is Power: How Anonymous LLCs and Land Trusts Shield Your Identity

In real estate, visibility attracts value—but too much visibility invites risk. Public ownership records make investors easy targets for lawsuits and unwanted attention. That’s why privacy is a vital part of asset protection.

Anonymous LLCs

States like Wyoming and New Mexico allow LLCs without disclosing the owner’s identity. This means your name stays off public filings, adding a critical layer of protection. When structured properly, even legal discovery becomes more complex for litigants.

Land Trusts

A land trust separates ownership from control. Your name stays private, while a trustee holds title. Land trusts:

• Keep ownership details off public record.

• Simplify property transfers and estate planning.

• Discourage lawsuits by masking ownership.

Combined Power

Pairing a land trust with an anonymous LLC maximizes privacy and liability protection. You control the entity that owns the trust, creating multiple layers between your assets and potential claimants.

Final Insight: The less they see, the less they sue.
