ABOUT EQUITY HOLDING CORPORATION

Equity Holding Corporation was formed in 2000 to function as a Corporate Trustee for land trusts.

While almost anyone can be named the “trustee” of a land trust, there are definite benefits to use a Corporate Trustee as the trustee of your land trust. Appointing a trustee other than a corporation would allow the property to fall into the trustee's probate and other legal problems: but a corporate trustee (in virtually all states) must be a trust company only (bank and trust, title and trust, XYZ trust company) ... or a non-profit corporation acting only for the benefit of its certified members.

Equity Holding Corporation, with the benefit of “unlimited life” was founded and established exactly for this purpose. Equity Holding Corporation serves as Trustee for hundreds of Trusts Nationwide.
