The added benefit of using a land trust is that you can actually remove your name(s) from public record if you establish the trust correctly, having your attorney sign as a Nominee Trustee and hence creating an attorney-client privilege protecting your name(s).Once again, I would chat with your banker to see what they are offering. 

@Kenneth Anderson if you choose to look into or pursue SA and want to chat let me know.

Looking to chat with local people in the Tacoma, WA area to gain more insight and understand and see if we can learn from each other or help each other.
