  • What is a land trust, and how does it work?

    A land trust is a legal arrangement where real estate is transferred to a trustee to hold and manage for the benefit of beneficiaries. The trustee has legal title to the property but must follow the instructions outlined in the trust agreement. Beneficiaries retain beneficial ownership rights, including the right to use and profit from the property.

  • What are the benefits of using a land trust?

    Land trusts offer various benefits, including privacy protection, asset management flexibility, and probate avoidance. By transferring property into a land trust, individuals can shield their assets from public records, simplify the transfer of property to heirs, and potentially reduce estate taxes.

  • Who can benefit from establishing a land trust?

    Anyone who owns real estate can potentially benefit from establishing a land trust. Whether you're a homeowner, real estate investor, business owner, or land developer, a land trust can provide valuable asset protection, privacy, and estate planning advantages. Consulting with a lawyer can help determine if a land trust is the right solution for your specific needs and goals.
