01 — Conveyance
Title passes to the trustee
The property is conveyed to the trustee by deed and recorded in the county’s official records. The trustee’s name appears; the beneficiary’s does not.

How it works
A land trust separates who holds title from who holds the interest.
Under section 689.071, Florida Statutes, real property may be conveyed to a trustee who holds both legal and equitable title as to third parties. The beneficiary’s interest is personal property, and it does not appear on the recorded deed.
02 — Direction
The trustee acts only as directed
The trustee acts on the written direction of the beneficiary, and exercises no independent discretion over the property.
03 — Privacy
The agreement stays private
The trust agreement is a private document. It is not recorded, and the beneficiary named in it is not part of the public record.
04 — Transfer
Interests move without a deed
A beneficial interest is personal property. It can be assigned without recording a new deed.
