Land Trust Benefits
Learn how a land trust can provide asset protection and privacy for real estate.
Anonymity
The beneficial interest (owner) of the trust is not recorded in the public record anywhere so unless you divulge your ownership then no one can know that you own the property.
Lien Attachment Avoidance
The beneficial interest (owner) of the trust is not recorded in the public record anywhere so unless you divulge your ownership then no one can know that you own the property.
NO Due On Sale
The beneficial interest (owner) of the trust is not recorded in the public record anywhere so unless you divulge your ownership then no one can know that you own the property.
Homeowners don't pay transfer tax to put their property into a land trust, unlike a majority of the time when transferring a property into an LLC or other vehicle. This can also be advantageous when selling the property to a new owner as well.
Avoid Probate
One of the biggest advantages to holding property in a trust instead of an individuals name is the ability to avoid probate. Probate can be a costly and time consuming process for your loved ones after you pass. Putting your property into a land trust now will ensure a smooth transition of your real estate for your family in the event that something should happen to you.
Complete Control
Once a property is in a land trust then whoever has the beneficial interest of the trust (the owner) has complete control of that asset; to sell, manage or operate the asset however they see fit, without permission from a bank or the government.
Cost Savings Tool
Lower Risk of Litigation
Typically if an individual is looking to sue someone then they have a lawyer do a quick search of what they own to see if it would be worth their time. If your property is in a land trust with complete anonymity then to the outside world it will appear as though you don't have any assets that would be worthwhile to go after.
