Real Estate Trust
Hold property with privacy and liability protection
Why People Use It
Property owners use real estate trusts to hold homes, rentals, and investment properties. Public records show the trust name, not your personal name. Liability from one property doesn't reach your other assets.
Who This Is For
- Homeowners wanting privacy in property records
- Rental property investors with multiple properties
- Landlords wanting liability isolation
- Real estate investors building a portfolio
- Anyone wanting to avoid probate on property transfer
Key Benefits
Privacy in Public Records
County records show the trust name, not your personal name. Harder to trace property ownership back to you.
Liability Isolation
If something happens at one property, other properties and personal assets are protected in separate trusts.
Probate Avoidance
Property in a trust transfers directly to beneficiaries without going through probate court.
Easier Transfers
Selling or transferring property is simpler when already in a trust—no need to retitle at death.
Real World Scenario
The Landlord's Liability
The Situation
A landlord with three rental properties had a tenant sue after an injury on one property. Because all properties were in his personal name, the plaintiff's attorney threatened to go after not just that property, but his other rentals and personal home.
The Outcome
After restructuring with separate trusts for each property, each rental is isolated. A lawsuit at one property can only reach the assets in that property's trust—not the others or his personal residence.
Core Conditions
- Property titled in trust name
- Public records show trust, not personal name
- Liability isolated to trust assets
- Probate avoided on property transfer
You decide the conditions, verification methods, and level of control.
