A Land Trust is a document that bypasses Probate. Which means upon your death all the beneficiary has to do is contact their attorney, or the Land Trust company itself. They will walk them through the documents that are needed to transfer the property to the beneficiary (themselves or several of them). THAT IS IT.

At that time you/they/them can choose to keep it in the Land Trust, or remove it altogether. If you remove it- the Trust Co. will close the trust, and issue a Trustee Deed which will show the beneficiary/you/they/them as the new owner. I recommend keeping it in trust to my clients, because the property stays hidden. It is a "trust number" so creditors cannot find out WHO the owner is. It is one of the most powerful ways to make sure your property goes to the person you want it to-- without any hiccups or drama.

Check to see if your particular state have Land Trusts. Many do not - so definitely research. Banks can do Land Trusts, but our law office use Chicago Title Land Trust Co., because they are national. Plus they've been around for many many decades. Whereas, banks closed during COVID- and those (bank created land trusts) -- in our state-- were sent to Chicago Title Land Trust. Check to see if your State allow homeowners to have Land Trusts, and then check to see if there is a Chicago Title Land Trust office in your area.

Good Luck, I hope this helps. Be Blessed!!
