Equity holding trust
I've been talking to some local REI group members and I had a question that I have not been able to readily find the answer to by using the search button.
In an equity holding trust (land trust) can the beneficiaries sue each other? Would naming an LLC a beneficiary(instead of an individual) protect from this possible scenario? I know the trust protects the property from outside dangers (IRS etc) but does it protect from legal action from within?
