Won't people know I own the property if they see Scott Smith or Royal Legal as the Nominee Trustee?

• No, because you actually aren't even the owner anymore. Your LLC and Trust now own the property. So, from a litigation standpoint this actually isn't 100% obvious and if they guess you are the owner and sue you personally, they will end up wasting $25,000 on a litigation process. This is why it's an effective deterrent.
