Naming land trust same as property address: good or bad?
When creating a land trust to hold a piece of property for anonymity reasons (or to transfer a property out of your personal name and into an LLC, which is the beneficiary of the trust), a common practice seems to be to name the land trust after the property address, ex. "123 Main Trust".
Is this a good practice? Are there any drawbacks to using this naming convention? I seem to remember hearing at least one attorney say this was not a good idea, but I'm not sure what the reasoning was.

If I was going to use a trust I would name the trust the "Widows and Orphans Trust" so no one would want to sue me.
