How Land Trusts Protects Your Family
Because the trustee, not you, holds legal title, your name stays off the public record. The land trust also allows real estate to pass to your beneficiaries outside of probate and can simplify transfers of investment and residential property.
We draft and administer Florida land trusts for owners of investment property, residential real estate, and multi-property portfolios across Orlando and Central Florida.
Why Florida Land Trusts Matters
Ownership Privacy
Title is held in the trustee's name, keeping the beneficiary's identity off public real estate records.
Probate-Free Transfer
Beneficial interests in a land trust can pass to heirs outside of Florida probate, avoiding court delays.
Flexible Direction
The beneficiary retains full power to direct, control, and revoke the trustee, privacy without loss of control.
Simplified Succession
Designate successor beneficiaries to take over seamlessly, without re-recording deeds or probate.
Investment & Residential
Useful for single-family homes, investment property, and multi-parcel portfolios across Central Florida.
Streamlined Transfers
Sell, mortgage, or direct the trustee to act on the property without recording each change publicly.
