If you are doing it for anonymity, this might be a better question for your attorney or CPA.

There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California.An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

Quote from @Krissi Miramontes: An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.

There's the possibility of putting the homes directly into a Wyoming (anonymous name) or Nevada (inside and outside protection), but it is against the law in CA and puts the protection in question. 

I have read that the world-wide hacker group known as "Anonymous" has already taken out over 5000 different ISIS account since the incident.

We have a person with no previous posts and no reputation anonymously discrediting a very active and helpful company in which real repercussions could occcur.

This is a anonymous call that anyone could do.

If an anonymous trust owns your LLC, that's technically a three-party agreement (the trust).

Plus, if you self-manage, you'll need a regular LLC as the shell operations public facing company (you want separation between the asset holding Series-LLC and the public facing shell (no assets) LLC).If you use land trusts you can be exempt of transfer tax - except in PA (see how-to-set-up-your-real-estate-ownership-anonymously).

The living trust/LLC combination is just one way to conduct business or own assets anonymously.
