How to Sell Trust-Owned Land in 2026
Selling land held in a trust requires first confirming the trust’s terms and authority, then coordinating the trustee’s legal power to sell with any required approvals from beneficiaries or the court. The process typically involves reviewing the trust document and deed, ensuring the property is properly titled in the trust, hiring the right professionals, setting a market price, completing disclosures and contract paperwork in the trustee’s name, and handling closing so proceeds are distributed or retained according to the trust. With careful planning, clear documentation, and compliance with state and trust requirements, trustees can sell trust-owned land smoothly while protecting beneficiaries’ interests.
