I am at the planning stage of setting of a revocable trust for my estate and assets. The only thing that has a lien is a large acreage ag property. As it stands right now, I am the sole owner of all property discussed. My concern with the land is in the event of death, it may go to probate and ultimately back to the lender! I am trying to learn what options I may have? I know on another property for someone else, they bought an insurance policy that would pay off the property, but I am not sure if that only covers natural death or whatever. Basically sneaky ways insurance may not pay.
I have family that would gladly either take over payments or just refi in their own name. I also know private people that would lend cash just to get it done if it came to that. My biggest concern is how the lender handles this but they won't have that convo with me!
I was hoping to simply put another party on with the lender, but I think that would subject them to a reportable debt, which I don't desire.
I also own other valuable assets that don't carry a title, such as heavy equipment. I am hoping that is as simply as documenting the serial numbers within the trust instrument?
