Pure Trust Organizations: Working with your Fiduciary Owner
by Brent Johnson
A Pure Trust Organization can provide you with myriad protections, including but not limited to: elimination of probate, virtual elimination of liability, asset protection, reduction or elimination of government regulation. These protections are real, despite the popular viewpoint that PTOs do not work. Actually, they do. It's just that most people selling PTOs do not really understand why a PTO protects property.
Once you have placed property into a Pure Trust Organization (PTO) you no longer own the property. You must divest yourself of legal control if you are to enjoy the protections for which the PTO was created in the first place. This is where many people have gone wrong, by not properly addressing the issue of legal control. This is why so many supposed "Pure Trusts" have been attacked successfully.
Property in a PTO does not belong to you! It isn't your property anymore, so you cannot simply sell it or otherwise use it, except as authorized by the PTO. The property is owned by the trust and any changes to the trust property must go through the Fiduciary Owner (Trustee). If you are to make proper use of your PTO, you must understand how to work with your Fiduciary Owner.
When you first exchange property into a PTO, you become the initial Holder of Beneficial Interest in the PTO. This means that you are the only person to benefit from the trust assets, though you do not own them. In other words, if a house is held in the trust, you get to live there. If the house is sold, distributions are paid to you. But you do not own the house; the PTO does. If it is a business held in trust, you receive the proceeds of any distribution made from the income or principal of the business, but you do not own the business; the trust owns it.
It therefore makes sense that you cannot sell the property held in trust, since it isn't yours to sell. If you want to sell or add to trust property, you have your Protector contact the Fiduciary Owner and instruct him/her accordingly. This is the only legitimate way to instruct the Fiduciary Owner to do anything, because you cannot directly instruct the trust (goes to legal control).
When a Holder of Beneficial Interest signs a Bill of Sale on property held in a PTO, that person has committed an act of fraud. If there is ever an investigation into the transfer of property, the Holder's actions may result in the entire trust being compromised from its inception, because the Holder showed legal control by instituting the sale/acquisition on his own. Further, the act of fraud is a jailable offense. Anytime you give government officials something which they can hold over you, they can use it - now or in the future - to threaten you into compliance.
If you wish to protect and preserve your property for your family and future generations, a properly written Pure Trust Organization is the best way to do it. However, the objective can only be accomplished if you realize that you are giving up legal control of the property. There are ways to maintain "practical control" but not legal control. You cannot be granted all trustee powers under a contract as Managing Director of the trust, for example. Those who would offer such do not understand PTOs.
If you wish to live free, you must protect your property from arbitrary taxation and confiscation. This means you must not own any property. A PTO effectively accomplishes this objective. But you cannot have it both ways. You cannot have property in trust, retain control of the property, and also expect the protections of common law.
