<p class="MsoNormal">Client came in with a Revocable Living Trust he wants to amend. He owns multiple pieces of income producing real estate in the name of his Living Trust and a different LLC for each property. So all properties are owned as tenant in common
by the Living Trust and a different LLC. He had been previously told that he should hold the real estate in the name of the LLC to limit his liability. I don’t get involved in Living Trusts, but it seems to me that it would be more efficient if the real estate
was only in the name of the Living Trust. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
