Setting up LLC or Trust

[Justin M.]

I am just now looking to start buying and holding properties. I want to make my first purchase in the next few months. I am interested in setting up a trust that will control my Series LLC. I am planning on investing out of state, so I am not sure if I should set it up in VA where I live or in KS where I am looking into investing. I am also not positive if setting up a trust is needed, but I am trying to protect my assets and eventually pass on the buy and hold properties to my kids once I am gone. Any suggestions on how to set it up or where to start or even how to find a lawyer to set it up would be helpful. Thanks for your help.
