I thought a land trust only provides anonymity not protection from being sued.

I've been a long time lurker -- reading the blog posts, browsing the forums anonymously, and listening to podcasts, but I thought I'd finally get involved with the community / forums for once.As my title says, I'm based in NYC and besides a good chunk (in my opinion) of book knowledge, I'm still quite a bit of a novice.  

I had thought HUD bids were anonymous, and only the bank was able to see those offers.

Through debtors anonymous I learned I did not have a "right relationship" with money and it's taken me a couple of years to finally identify the underlying issues.  

As far as public exposure you may want to establish a personal property trust with you or your entity as the beneficiary and then assigned the note to that trust when you purchase it and that creates a level of anonymity in public records. 

The fifth pillar is owning everything anonymously.

@Gary Clisele Hi Gary, I work with an asset protection group that often sets up anonymous entities for purposes like that.

@Brian Eastman,Thank you for your response/expertise.Does the land trust essentially add a liability layer of anonymity, or is it something else?

This entity would also be the/a general partner in syndicated deals.HoldCo: A WY manager-managed LLC with initial nominee manager (for anonymity), disregarded for tax purposes.
