How to structure holding company of my rentals

[Jay Y.]

Hi all,

I went to have a living trust drafted for my personal home and vehicles and asked the attorney if I should add the living trust as beneficiary of the holding company that owns all my rentals (holding company is just owned by me at the time).  He actually suggested that I make the living trust as owner of the holding company.  

I can see his point that it would provide an extra layer of protection if a tenant were to sue me however I don't like the fact that I could be putting my personal home and cars at risk.  That plus I'm losing the anonymity of where I live and what I drive.

What do you guys think, make the living trust the owner or beneficiary of my rentals' holding company??

Thanks so much!!!
