Last updated on September 29, 2025
If you own one or more pieces of real estate and want to make sure they’re passed down smoothly to your loved ones, placing those properties into a real estate trust can be a smart and strategic move. Trusts allow you to transfer ownership while maintaining control, avoiding probate and preserving the value of your assets. At Hodges Law Firm, LLC, we help families in the Atlanta area create tailored estate planning solutions that may include revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts and other structures designed to protect real estate and secure your legacy.
With more than 30 years of combined experience, our lawyers are highly knowledgeable about trusts, estates, asset protection, trust formation and trust administration. We understand how to structure assets and trust arrangements that align with your goals and protect your property. We provide flat-fee contracts and personal, attentive service.
Why Put Real Estate Into A Trust?
Real estate may be among the most valuable assets you own. By placing it into a real estate trust, you can:
- Avoid probate: Property held in a trust passes directly to your beneficiaries, bypassing the court system and maintaining confidentiality.
- Preserve value: Trusts help prevent delays, disputes and mismanagement that can reduce property value.
- Maintain control: You can set terms for how the property is used, sold or inherited.
Whether you own a single home or multiple investment properties, we’ll help you determine whether to place them in one trust or separate trusts based on your family’s needs and long-term vision.
Choosing The Right Type Of Real Estate Trust
We guide clients in selecting the right type of trust for their needs. A revocable trust provides more flexibility and control, and it can be changed or revoked during your lifetime. An irrevocable trust offers more tax advantages and stronger asset protection. If you have charitable goals, we can also structure your trust to include charitable giving provisions. We will customize the trust to reflect your wishes, preserve your property and support your beneficiaries.
