When you put property into a PTO, you divest yourself of legal control of the property. However, in a properly designed PTO you retain practical control, which is what most people want in the first place.
The question of who has legal control over the property determines whether or not the trust will actually be successful in protecting the property from regulations, taxation, control, etc.
You can ensure that your wishes concerning trust property are respected by working with your Protector, whose job is to protect your interest in the trust.
