For many years, trusts were used for the sole purpose of buying and holding real estate, however, they now serve many purposes. Individuals and companies alike have realized that creating trusts helps prevent their assets from going into probate.

Trusts can provide owners an important tool in estate planning. As a full service escrow company, New Era can provide the expertise needed in conducting a trust escrow transaction.

Land Trusts

Just a handful of states including California, allow land trusts which grant limited duties and powers. A land trust is a land ownership agreement that allows the trustee to hold equitable and legal title of the real estate while the trust beneficiary retains the power to direct the trustee, draw income, and manage the real estate. Land trusts are created with a deed and the trust agreement itself. Land trusts offer several unique advantages, including the fact that interest is not subject to partition and it may be used as collateral to avoid the probate process.
