Hi Bryan,

This maybe way off the subject of “land trust” but lately I’ve been hearing so much about the “option contract” and that the land trust is a thing of the past. If this is so and the title companies frown on such then why should it be used?

Thanks In Advance

Virg

The land trust is far from a thing of the past. There’s no better way to own property while maintaining your privacy. I’m not sure what specific issue you’re referring to, but land trusts are as viable as ever for their intended purpose: To maintain privacy. — Bryan Ellis

is a lawyer the only one that can hold a trust? prob not but still learning

thanks willie

While I’ll defer this to your own legal counsel, my unlicensed opinion is that a lawyer is not necessary to hold a trust. — Bryan Ellis

Best explanation I have read on Land Trusts.

And the DOS clause will be dead for the next several years I am betting as a practiacal matter.

Thanks again.

Bryan-What is the difference between a Land Trust and a Living Trust?

A “living trust” is just a broad category of trusts, and a “land trust” is a type of living trust. Frankly, a land trust is like nearly any other trust, except that its primary (and usually only) asset is a piece of real estate. — Bryan Ellis

Hi Bryan:
Did you say that you were going to post your Land Trust paperwork and video how to fill it out?
If so, how can I access that, as I am very interested in learning more about this issue.

Thanks

I’ve been told by a few lawyers that Land Trust are not Legal or even recognized in MI Bryant what’s a legally creative way to handle this that will stand up in court! Thanks Rico.
