Instead of settin up a trust you can get the same outcome as setting up a deed. A deed does not have to be filed and can sit in your office.



A Contract for Deed is sometimes also know as a Land Contract, Agreement for Deed, Contract Sale or Real Estate Installment Agreement. This type of Document allows the Seller to retain the title to the property and agree to transfer the title to the Buyer once all the payments under the Agreement are made and all other obligations are met. In essence, the Seller finances the purchase and holds the title or deed as security. When the Buyer completes the required payments, the Seller must deliver valid legal title by way of a deed. During the period of the contract, the Buyer makes installment payments on the purchase price and is entitled to possession and equitable title to the property. The Seller holds legal title and continues to be liable for payment of any underlying mortgage.
