Land Trusts can protect your privacy by making it difficult to find your holdings through public records searches.

In today's instant access environment, anyone with a smartphone and internet connection can do a public records search to find out what properties you own. Why expose yourself to prying eyes when a simple revocable land trust prevents your name from being in the public record while preserving 100% of your rights to the property's income and value. Land trusts have a long and reliable history as legitimate property ownership vehicles.

Land trusts are also a powerful disincentive to potential litigation - how much money do you think a plaintiff is going to spend suing someone who has no public record of property ownership? How much do you think they will spend taking a chance that you are the beneficial owner of property they can't find? There's no telling the lengths a truly angry and legitimately wronged plaintiff will go, but a frivolous plaintiff, or one being advised by a contingent fee lawyer who is paying the upfront costs of litigation out of his own pocket, will surely think twice.

Land trusts may also protect you from title claims, liens, HOA litigation, and barriers to sale, since the trust is owned by you while a third party (of your choosing) is acting as Trustee under your specific direction. Because of their nature a flow through entity with you as full and unrestricted owner, Land Trusts are not actually asset protection vehicles in the sense that they shield you from liability - rather they discourage litigation through legally hiding your interest in property.

Your land trusts can (and should) be integrated with your personal estate plan and limited liability companies for maximum protection.
