Land Trust 土地信托

土地所有权的一种安排。据此，受托人拥有该土地的普通法与衡平法上的所有权，同时，受益人保留指示受托人、管理财产、从信托中获取收益等各项权力。故在该种信托中，就公共记录而言，受托人的权力是完全的，但其实际上受到信托契据中记载的信托协议〔trust agreement〕的限制。该信托协议典型的做法是授予受益人充分的管理和控制信托财产的权力，但受益人也不能像不存在信托那样处理财产。该种信托通常都有确定的期限，而且与遗嘱信托〔testamentary trust〕或生前信托〔inter vivos trust〕有所不同，受托人可能承担个人责任。

Land trusts are nonprofit organizations which own and manage land, and sometimes waters. There are three common types of land trust, distinguished from one another by the ways in which they are legally structured and by the purposes for which they are organized and operated: 1. A real estate investment trust is a fiduciary arrangement whereby one party (the trustee) agrees to own and to manage real property for the benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries. 2. A community land trust (CLT) is a private, nonprofit corporation that acquires, manages, and develops land for a variety of purposes, primarily for the production and stewardship of affordable housing, although many CLTs are also engaged in non-residential buildings and uses. 3. A conservation land trust is a private, non-profit corporation in the US that acquires land or conservation easements for the purpose of limiting commercial development and preserving open space, natural areas, waterways, and/or productive farms and forests. 具体例句如下，可供参考：
