“[T]he trust arrangement provided the [guarantors] a significantly greater degree of separation than that in Torrey Pines . Although the [guarantors] are the settlors of the Trust, they are secondary, not primary, beneficiaries. More importantly, the [guarantors] used a limited liability company as trustee, thus limiting their personal liability for the Trust’s obligations. The [guarantors] became true guarantors because the [guarantors’] Trust arrangement “actually removed the[m] from their status and obligations as debtors”. 59”
