Land Trusts

Across Arkansas’s farmland and rural communities, land is more than just property—it’s a legacy. Whether you’re in Monticello, Helena, Wynne, Forrest City, Blytheville, Marion, Stuttgart, or Carlisle, protecting your land for future generations is a priority. At The Ray Firm, we help individuals, families, and landowners in these communities establish land trusts to preserve ownership, simplify estate planning, and ensure land remains in trusted hands.

What Is a Land Trust?

A land trust is a legal arrangement that allows real estate to be held in trust by a trustee on behalf of one or more beneficiaries. This provides flexibility, privacy, and control over how the land is used, transferred, or managed.

Whether you’re putting land in a family trust in Forrest City or creating a land trust for farmland in Stuttgart, our attorneys can guide you through every step to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Benefits of Putting Land in a Trust

In cities like Blytheville and Marion, where land is often passed down through generations, putting land in a trust can prevent disputes and preserve your legacy. Benefits include:

Protect your privacy: Ownership is transferred to the trust, shielding your name from public property records.
Property held in a trust simplifies the probate process, simplifying the transfer to beneficiaries.
Preserve family legacy: A family land trust ensures your property remains within the family and is managed according to your wishes.
Control usage: Specify terms for how the land is used, whether for farming, conservation, or future development.
Avoiding Probate: Trust-held property can pass to beneficiaries without going through the court system.
