Keep Your LLC Ownership Confidential. Purchase a Confidential Trust to keep your name off the Arizona Corporation Commission's public records of your Arizona LLC. Do you want your name and home address to appear in the Articles of Organization and on the internet on the Arizona Corporation Commission’s website? The Articles of Organization of an Arizona LLC filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission must disclose the name and address of all members except for members who own less than twenty percent of a manager managed LLC. Richard Keyt's article titled "How to Form an Arizona LLC without Disclosing Its Ultimate Owner(s)" explains how to form an Arizona LLC legally without disclosing the ultimate owners of the LLC. This Confidential Trust can be used to disguise the ultimate owner of every LLC you acquire in the future. If you purchase an estate plan with a trust from Richard Keyt within one year of the date of purchasing a Confidential Trust the entire amount you pay to purchase the CT will be credited against the fee to prepare the estate plan. The fee for this trust is $497, but if you hire us to prepare your LLC you get a $200 discount plus our address service for no additional cost for one year - a $300 savings. | |
