About Us

Who We Are

The
TRSTE
Team

We are a legal firm specializing in holding properties in Florida Land Trusts for investors and others who desire that extra layer of confidentiality and asset protection in their real estate ownership and transactions. Our name appears on the Official Records, in the County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector Records, on leases, deeds, and permit applications. Your name doesn’t. We and you are the only ones who know you own the property.

We know you trust us with some of your most valuable real estate assets and we understand that so it’s important for you to know us as well. With over 30 years of combined real estate experience, and over 1,000 trusts in our history, we have worked hard to earn and maintain our clients’ trust and confidence in our services.
