What is a land trust and how can it help you? In this video, I will provide a full explanation of what a land trust is and how to hide property transfers with this land trust strategy.
“So a land rust is basically a revocable trust agreement like a living trust.” 0:26
Land trusts are made up of three parties, the trustee, beneficiary, and grantor. Together, they ensure that land trusts are legally enforceable and that the terms of the trust are fulfilled.
A trustee is a person or organization who holds legal title to the property, but not physical possession. The beneficiary is the party who will ultimately benefit from the use of the land; they might be an individual, corporation, or government agency. Lastly, the grantor creates the trust and then transfers the involved property.
In this installment of the channel, we want to go over the benefits of land trusts and their use in the real estate industry. Land trusts are an important tool for both consumers and industry professionals to use in their day-to-day lives, as they can help mitigate risk, increase transparency, and provide a better overall experience with land ownership.
Learn how land trusts can influence your life and how you can use them to increase your overall financial stability.

Great information as usual. Thanks Clint. I've signed up for a future workshop but until then I have one question. How do California (LA County) property tax assessments affected by assignments of the land trust agreements? Would it simply require voluntary notification of the "transfer" of the underlying real estate (or the agreement) since it is a private/unrecorded transfer? Or are the assignments not subject to possible reassessments of the underlying land? Thanks.

@ClintCoons Жыл бұрын

You must file the PCOR when the assignment would result in a reassessment.

If title is already in your name and you transfer to a land trust, do you still have asset protection/liability protection?

Only in Florida. After the property is held in a land trust you will assign your beneficial interest to an LLC.

A living trust does not allow for the assignment of your interest to an LLC for asset protection. A land trust does.

@AberrantArt Жыл бұрын

Hey Clint, another great video! Helpful breakdown as always 👍 I've got 2 questions: 1) When buying Subject To the existing mortgage, would you suggest making the Seller the Beneficiary, then have them assign their interest to your (the buyer) LLC? 2) Should the Grantor be an LLC as well?

@jalabi99 Жыл бұрын

1) Of course I'm not a lawyer so this isn't legal advice or anything, but from what I understand using a land trust the way you described for a subject-to deal isn't the way to do it. You are the buyer who is going to be paying the mortgage for the seller in exchange for the deed on their property. You would create a land trust and that land trust is going to be the buyer. The trustee of the land trust is an LLC in a state like Delaware or Wyoming. The beneficiary of the land trust is going to be another Wyoming or Delaware LLC. The seller and the trustee sign the purchase and sale agreement. Since the trustee is an LLC you would set up a bank account for that LLC just like normal. That bank account is where the mortgage payments for the property are going to be autopaid from every month. 2) The grantor of the land trust could be an LLC, or it could be a human being. There's pros and cons to each.

@AberrantArt Жыл бұрын

@jalabi99 Thanks for the info. My strategy was to avoid the bank calling the due on sale if they see the Beneficiary of the trust is not the owner. What you explained makes sense if the due on sale is of no concern.

@jalabi99 Жыл бұрын

@@AberrantArt That's not when the bank will invoke the due on sale clause. 99.999999% of the time the due on sale clause is never invoked. Because as long as the mortgage continues to be paid, the bank doesn't care. In the 0.000001% of the time the due on sale clause does get invoked, Clint has a video where he explains how to quickly fix that problem.

@ClintCoons Жыл бұрын

@AberrantArt You could but I prefer to use the buyer as the beneficiary. The beneficiary LLC could be listed as the grantor.

I bought a small house 30 years go. Then I bought a peice of land adjacent to it and added the two together. Then I built another house on the added land and used the first house as a rental for about 25 years until the township made me divide the two parcels to satisfy the ordinance requirement of only one residence per lot. My current mortgage describes both lots and both homes as the collateral. My deed is a registered ladybird deed. Should I put the properties into a land trust instead?

@ClintCoons 7 ай бұрын

Yes I think the land trust would be a preferred option to using an LLC.

When selling, title company require a real person to sign statement of authority (Name of trustee which is a wyoming llc) and it's public record. if the name of the manager of wyoming llc is on statement of authority and its recorded, that destroy the anonymity. Is there a work around ?

@AberrantArt Жыл бұрын

I don't think it would be a major problem because the Beneficiary is the one with liability, not the trustee. So if someone wants to sue you, it's the Beneficiary that they would go after. This is just my guess, I'd be curious to know what Clint would say.

@jalabi99 Жыл бұрын

Of course I'm not a lawyer so this isn't legal advice or anything, but from what I understand: the trustee is a Wyoming LLC, but any human being signing does not necessarily need to put their name. They just sign it and follow it with the words "as Trustee, Blue Box Trust". Even if they do put their name (signing it, followed with the words "J. DOE as Trustee, Blue Box Trust" - first initial then last name), since they are just the Trustee of the trust there's no break in anonymity.

It is fraud to set up a trust solely to avoid a court-ordered seizure. Yes, the trust can have that effect. But it has other effects. Never set up a trust to avoid a legitimate court order. (Or don't get caught.) Also, trusts are complicated. Get competent legal advice in your jurisdiction.
