Question Tax optimization for holding family assets - Trusts?

[zzzzzz]

What is the best long term solution if you want to move personal and family assets (stock portfolio) under different name, for tax free accumulation, privacy and easy estate transfer? I was reading about trusts (USA LLC that is owned by a Nevis trust) where you separate assets from yourself, but I don't understand exactly how they work. It sounds very complicated.
Can trusts open bank accounts and can you withdraw any money from brokerage/bank account that is owned by a trust? Are there any risks with trusts? Can you move money back to your name after years?

Hi. Moving a stock portfolio to a trust might create a higher tax liability if the portfolio is producing taxable gains that will be taxed @ 35% for a trust.

To transfer the assets you need to deed them to the trust and the trust should be irrevocable, otherwise will be disregarded and all income is taxable to you.

If irrevocable trust owns a company (US LLC), can settlor manage brokerage/bank account of that company by himself? I assume trustee only manages trust, but not company?
