How It Works
Discover the Simplicity and Security of Land Trusts
A land trust is a powerful and flexible tool that allows property owners to maintain privacy, control, and security over their assets. Unlike traditional ownership, a land trust provides a unique structure in which the roles of trustee, beneficiary, and grantor are clearly defined and work in harmony to protect the owner’s privacy and interests.

Unlock the 7 Key Benefits of a Land Trust
1. Confidentiality
The Land Trust Company is legally obligated to maintain strict confidentiality as a fiduciary trustee for its beneficiaries.
2. Anonymity
A Land Trust ensures that property ownership remains confidential at both the county recorder's office and the tax assessor's website.
3. Concealment
Land Trusts offer a strategic advantage by preventing public disclosure of the full scope of their real estate holdings. Through the Land Trusts' Private Bid process, investors can effectively conceal their identities when acquiring properties.
4. Probate Avoidance
Establishing a Land Trust enables you to bypass probate, ensuring that your property is swiftly and efficiently transferred to your designated beneficiary.
5. Asset Protection
Land Trusts offers an added layer of protection against legal and financial risks associated with property ownership.
6. Fraud Protection
Properties held within a Land Trust require the involvement of our Trust Officers for any conveyance.
7. Title Restoration Assistance
The Land Trust Company is partnered with the nation’s largest title insurance company. This collaboration empowers us, as the record owner, to assist in restoring rightful ownership of your property in the event of a fraudulently recorded conveyance document.
