Hi Jennifer -
One hint I'd give on this is to be sure you have the terms of purchase laid out, especially calculation of sale price, else it can be an unenforceable "agreement to agree." Often you can base the sale price at either a set sum (not recommended) or the value or some discounted % of a formal appraisal; including provision that if one party gets an appraisal the other doesn't like, they then get their own, and you take the average, or something like that.
Also check out Saving the Family Cabin, which is useful for anything with tenants in common - excellent reference well worth picking up:

Clients are looking for anonymity with their trust (at least as much as
possible).
It is possible to title the deed to property outright to the trust instead
of to Joe Trustee, Trustee of the Anonymous Trust?
If not (and even if yes), are there any other strategies you know of to
accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!

A trust is not an entity capable of holding title to real estate, so you must name the trustee as the grantee of the deed. (X as Trustee of the Y trust dated June 5, 2011)
You could name, say, an LLC as the trustee for an added layer of anonymity.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Discovery in Probate Proceeding
Listmates-
Client is administering an estate, and we are dealing with parties who are at best not forthcoming. We need to determine what assets the decedent's held at his death, and potentially review business transactions from the past few years. At this point, it seems appropriate to use formal discovery in the probate or some other judicial process to increase the consequences for the other parties - and get my client the information he needs to administer the estate. The other parties were decedent's advisors, including real estate agents and mortgage brokers, and were intimately familiar with decedent's financials from both "advising" the decedent and investing in projects with him.
I would greatly appreciate insights into the process for doing formal discovery processes or TEDRA procedures to get information on a decedent's assets and prior business dealings.
Thank you in advance for your knowledge and insights.

Hello
The clients (brother and sister) are joint tenants in a primary residence, only the brother resides in the home. They want to record a document that sets out a first right of refusal to purchase the percentage ownership interest if one joint tenant ever wants to sell.
An LLC is not an option since it is used as a primary residence, and they do not prefer a joint venture. Any options for a simple agreement?

what I do is name an unrelated co-operating party as the initial trustee and include language in the trust agreement providing that the named trustee is automatically replaced after a date certain and the trustee reverts to the interested party. Saves from amending trust and possibility of forgetting to do so and having to locate trustee for future conveyances.

I have one client extremely concerned about privacy. I?ve agreed to serve as the trustee of an RLT holding his condo.

A trust is not an entity capable of holding title to real estate, so you must name the trustee as the grantee of the deed. (X as Trustee of the Y trust dated June 5, 2011)
You could name, say, an LLC as the trustee for an added layer of anonymity.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Revocable trust anonymity on deed
Clients are looking for anonymity with their trust (at least as much as possible).
It is possible to title the deed to property outright to the trust instead of to Joe Trustee, Trustee of the Anonymous Trust?
If not (and even if yes), are there any other strategies you know of to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
