In this segment, Mark Kohler explains how a revocable trust can be used to increase personal privacy while the grantor is still alive. He discusses the option of omitting the grantor’s name from the trust’s title and even appointing an LLC as the trustee to create a layer of anonymity. By having the trust own assets, the true owner’s identity can be concealed from the public, offering a privacy shield. Kohler notes that achieving this anonymity requires extra effort and careful planning, but it opens the door to more robust privacy strategies for those who value it.

A trust can also create some privacy now while you're alive. I don't know if I want your name in the name of your trust. And sometimes you can even have an LLC serve as trustee. You can try to provide some anonymity, if you will, or privacy. So when this trust owns assets, people really don't know who owns them. Now, that can be a challenge. It takes extra work, but the revocable trust can open that door to more privacy planning when you want to embark on that.
