Send a letter to the land trust telling the beneficiaries you are interested in the property. The trustee of the land trust will then send it to the beneficiaries and they may contact you. As  mentioned above there are other tricks to finding out who owns property in a land trust. If there are any municipal violations against the property, see who the municipalities served with notice. Municipalities usually contact the land trust to find out the beneficiaries, then send notice to them. Good luck!
