Charging order protection + optional trust pairing. The strongest domestic asset protection available.
By Alif Al Razi, Tax & Compliance Lead, Anonymousllc.co
Wyoming anonymous LLC as the base layer. For high-net-worth individuals, pair with a Wyoming Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) under § 4-10-510. The trust owns the LLC membership interest, creating two barriers for creditors: charging order on the LLC and spendthrift protection on the trust. For maximum protection, use multi-member structure (even 1-2% to a spouse or trust) in states with weaker single-member protections.
Asset protection starts with privacy. If creditors cannot find your assets through passive public-records searches, they cannot target them. An anonymous LLC removes your name from state filings — title records, business registries, and secretary of state databases all show the LLC name, not yours. This does not block lawful process (subpoenas), but it eliminates the passive discovery that motivates many nuisance lawsuits.
Wyoming provides explicit single-member charging order protection (§ 17-29-503(a)) as the exclusive remedy. It also has the strongest DAPT statute (§ 4-10-510) for trust pairing. No state income tax means no additional tax nexus. Nevada is an alternative with strong case law, but at higher cost ($722 vs $397, $350/yr vs $60/yr ongoing).
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming LLC | $397 | Base asset protection layer |
| Wyoming LLC + DAPT | $397 + attorney fees | DAPT setup $5,000-15,000+ via estate attorney |
| Nevada LLC | $722 | Alternative with strong case law |
Yes, though homestead exemptions and trust structures may be more appropriate depending on your state. An LLC holding a primary residence may affect homestead protection in some jurisdictions. Consult an attorney.
When facing severe personal liability (catastrophic injury you caused), IRS claims, or fraudulent conveyance allegations. For these, more complex structures (offshore trusts, domestic DAPTs, multi-entity layering) may be needed.
