by Arizona LLC attorney Richard Keyt<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are considering forming an Arizona limited liability company here are the two primary reasons you should hire Richard Keyt to prepare a Confidential Trust to be the owner of the LLC:<\/p>\n

1. Confidentiality<\/strong>.\u00a0 Arizona LLC law (Arizona Revised Statutes Section 29-3201.B<\/a>) requires that the Articles of Organization of an Arizona LLC contain the name and address of members and the LLC’s place of business in Arizona. Our confidential trust allows the ultimate owner of the LLC to keep the ultimate owner’s name off the public records of the Arizona Corporation Commission. For example, if your confidential trust is called the “Hermosa Beach Trust” the ACC’s public record of the LLC will show it is owned by the Hermosa Beach Trust.\u00a0 The ACC’s records will not contain the name of the trustee or beneficiary or the address of the trust.<\/p>\n

A confidential trust can own multiple Arizona entities and keep the name of the ultimate owner off the ACC’s public records. If you purchase a confidential trust the price includes one year of our address service, which means that the address of the LLC and its members shown on the ACC’s public records will be c\/o KEYTLaw, LLC, 7373 E. Doubletree Ranch Road, Suite 135, Scottsdale, AZ 85258.<\/p>\n
