[WSBARP] client wants to transfer WA property to Florida land trust

[Nestor Gorfinkel]

It seems as if he trying to put title under Florida Statute 689.071. Look at that statute.  Problem is how will Washington State recognize or treat this language. I am not sure you can do it.

Cordially,

Subject: [WSBARP] client wants to transfer WA property to Florida land trust

I've been contacted by a Florida attorney to help a client transfer a Washington property to a Florida land trust. The Florida attorney also wants the deed to include about a page of language that would be extraneous in a Washington deed, but is primarily a list of trustee powers to manage the land and limits on the trustee's liability. Does anyone have any experience with this scenario? Washington is not one of the states with a land trust statute so I do not think the client will get all the benefits of the land trust that they would get for their Florida properties. But I don't see that it is that different from transferring property to the trustee of any valid revocable trust. Any input is appreciated.
