All Land Trust Alliance materials are designed to provide accurate, authoritative information about the subject matter covered with the understanding that the Alliance is not engaged in rendering legal, accounting or other professional counsel. If a land trust or individual requires legal advice or other expert assistance, they should seek the services of competent professionals. Information on the Resource Center may not constitute the most up-to-date legal or other information. The Resource Center contains links to other third-party websites. Such links are only for the convenience of the reader; the Alliance does not recommend or endorse the contents of the third-party sites. Use of, and access to, the Resource Center or any of the links or resources do not create an attorney-client relationship between the reader and the Alliance, its members or its contributors.

These resources can be used as a starting point to create a policy or other document for your own land trust, but should be altered as necessary to reflect your organization’s unique circumstances.
