Putting 2 homes into a Land Trust - Posted by JON

Posted by JON on July 13, 2004 at 15:06:47:

If I have 2 properties: one rental, one primary residence,

  1. how much should I expect to spend setting up and putting these two homes into a land trust?

  2. Can I still get the tax-benefits for my primary residence?

  3. What are some DISadvantages?

  4. Also, please recommend an authoritative/best book on land-trusts…

  5. what is the difference between a Trust
    and a Land-trust? Are they just the same thing or am I just completely misunderstood?

Thanks in Advance,
Jon

generic viagra cheap generic viagra An architect’s first work is apt to be spare and clean. He knows
he doesn’t know what he’s doing, so he does it carefully and with great
restraint.
As he designs the first work, frill after frill and embellishment
after embellishment occur to him. These get stored away to be used “next
time.” Sooner or later the first system is finished, and the architect,
with firm confidence and a demonstrated mastery of that class of systems,
is ready to build a second system.
This second is the most dangerous system a man ever designs.
When he does his third and later ones, his prior experiences will
confirm each other as to the general characteristics of such systems,
and their differences will identify those parts of his experience that
are particular and not generalizable.
os The general tendency is to over-design the second system, using
all the ideas and frills that were cautiously sidetracked on the first
one. The result, as Ovid says, is a “big pile.”

A simple (Title Holding) Land Trust should only cost you a few hundred dollars to setup plus a small annual Trustee fee of maybe $100 per yr. Each property should be placed in a seperate trust.

The tax benefits won’t change because you have you property in a trust.

As for the disadvantages. You need to be careful about who or what you name as the Trustee. Don’t name a person or the property becomes part of their estate and if something happens you could lose your home. Name a third-party corporation that is in the sole business of holding title to properties in Land Trusts.

When you want to refinance the property you may need to remove it from the trust, refinance and then place it back in trust. There are some lenders that will lend to a trust but not many.

In order to have full asset protection you need to name a second un-related co-beneficiary. It should be someone you trust. You can then have them grant you, by a Power of Attorney, their full voting rights so they have no control. Or, you can form an LLC to be the second co-beneficiary. Of course that would cost a few hundred more but offers some great protection. It’s kinda like wearing a belt and suspenders.

I have a copy of a book on Land Trusts in a PDF format I would be glad to forward to you if you wish. There are several guys out there that have some good material on Land Trusts. You can search this site for guys like Bill Bronchick, Bill Gatten etc. You won’t find much in stores or just stand alone books on the subject. Most of the stuff on Land Trusts are sold on sites like this.

The main difference between what most people know as a Living Trust or Family Revocable Living Trust and a Title Holding Land Trust is who the Trustee is. If you are the Trustee as in a FRLT you are both a beneficiary and the trustee and have full power of direction and control by yourself. In a THLT you name a third party to be the trustee and the trustee becomes the bare, equitalbe and legal title holder of the property. The Trustee of a properly setup THLT has no Power of Direction over the property except by a letter of direction given to it by the beneficiaries. This what makes a THLT so powerful as far as asset protection is concerned. There are others but you can read about those yourself.

A FRLT and a THLT are both Inter-Vivos (Living) Revocable Trusts. It all in who you trust.

Great post, already answers several questions I had. Do lenders
need to know who the beneficiary is? I would imagine that they
wouldn’t like to see an LLC as the beneficiary, though that would be
ideal for me for asset protection. Is obtaining home insurance in the
name of the title-holding trust difficult?

Also, would you please forward me your Land Trust PDF? Thanks!

Nothing changes except title to the property in now in the name of the Trust. No need to change insurance and no need to notify the mortgage company of who or what is are the beneficiaries.

Placing a Property into your own Living Trust, as is a Title Holding Land Trust, is a right guaranteed to you by the Federal Law. (see Garn - St. Germain)

As long as you remain “a” beneficiary of your trust your fine.

The only thing a Lender gets is notification from the Trustee that the property has been placed in a Revocable Living Trust.

You may name any Beneficiary you wish. That is a private matter between you and the Beneficiaries. The only thing you can’t do is take away the Banks right to foreclose in the event of non-payment etc.

If you are remaining in the home your insurance stays the same. If you are going to Lease or Rent to a Beneficiary or other you simply need to convert your existing policy to a Landlord Policy. It is usually less because it only covers the struture not the contents.
