You can use a LLC/LLP as a nominee to hold an asset. A corporation or LLC should have a business purpose, whether it has activity is another issue.
For tax purposes if a company does not generate income or expense and simply holds assets if could be treatred as a personal holding company, which could have tax consequences if and when the assets are sold or generate income.
