Keep Your Real Estate Ownership Private
There are many reason that an owner of real estate would not want their name to appear on the public record. The basic reason is for liability protect and risk management. The less people know about your assets the safer you are.
The Title Holding Trust
You can buy, hold and sell property, whether it be real estate or personal property, through a Title Holding Trust. The Title Holding Trust allows you to own and hold real estate on a confidential and private basis. The real estate is owned by the Trustee of the Trust and the Beneficiary or true owner's name does not appear on the public records at all.
There are other reasons and protections that the Title Holding Trust can provide to the real estate owner. I will cover these in a future post.

Hey Bill. I'm definitely interested in hearing about the differences as well. I think it would be a great help to those of us who don't know. Josh

Hi Mark, Yes, I will create a separate blog discussing the Title Holding Trust vs. LLCs. Neither is better than the other nor would replace each other. They both have benefits and both have negatives.

Sounds like a great idea. Can you share with the rest of us the process for setting up one of these trusts? Why is a trust better than an LLC or other entity? Thanks
