The form of title is chosen once, at contract, and it decides a dozen things for as long as you own. At Cipriani Residences Miami, here are the choices and what each one touches.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
Personal ownership: simplest, eligible for homestead, public record. A revocable trust: estate planning and privacy, usually still eligible for homestead, requires the trust to exist before contract. A company, domestic or foreign: liability separation and, for non-residents, estate-tax planning; not eligible for homestead; lenders treat it differently; rent and sale are taxed differently.

A trust or company that will take title must exist before the purchase agreement names it, or the contract must allow assignment to it later, which developers do not always permit. Ask the desk which the contract allows before deciding.

Title is the one decision you cannot regenerate. Make it first.
