Private Land trust management
The Makanak repatriates lands to and for the indigenous people(s) on Makanak Band into private land trusts. A land trust is a legal entity that takes ownership and possession of, or authority over, a piece of real estate property at the request of the property owner. Like other types of trusts, each land trust’s terms are unique and can be tailored to individual needs.
Land trusts are similar to other trusts but are typically meant for real estate. Land trusts can also hold other property-related assets, such as mortgages and notes. Any land can be used for a land trust, although they’re mostly used for land conservation or developmental property.
