<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PC and spouse want to purchase real estate in such a way that it is difficult for anyone to determine ownership. In this situation, the privacy concern isn’t paranoia-- there is a child and a no contact order with a dangerous individual,
so it is critical that no one be able to search for their address using their names. They are part of a program in WA called Address Confidentiality.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first thing I thought of is a revocable trust with a name that does not include PCs’ names, but I am wondering if ultimately, the name of the trustee/s will need to be on any documents that are recorded. Does anyone know what the limitations
on this process are? Ideally, neither of their names is on any documents that are searchable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would also love to know if there is any way to add a layer of protection to this to make it more difficult to trace without giving up control of the trust to a third party?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any advice you have! <o:p></o:p></p>
