Putting a property into an LLC before placing it in a trust is generally recommended because an LLC provides a stronger layer of asset protection against creditors and lawsuits compared to a trust alone, effectively isolating the property from personal liabilities while still allowing for estate planning benefits through the trust structure; essentially, the LLC acts as a shield to protect the asset within the trust from external claims.Consider getting professional advice on how to structure your assets to shield and protect the asset(s).
