Yeah, generally you have what’s called an Illinois Land Trust. I think every state but Louisiana now allows them. The public record will say that the owner is “Trust #541341324132 with XYZ Bank/Title Co/Law Office” If you want to know the real owner (“beneficiary”), you go to court and present the reasoning for wanting to know. If it’s a valid reason, the court will issue an order that you take over to XYZ Bank/Title Co/Law Office and they’ll give you that information.
