“The Illinois land trust, by its very nature, is characteristically different from common law land trusts. While the common law accomplishes a split between the legal title in the trustee and the equitable title in the beneficiary, in an Illinois land trust, the trustee has both legal and equitable title ... By placing with the trustee the ‘full, complete and exclusive title to the real estate, both legal and equitable,’ the beneficiary in an Illinois land trust is left with a personal property interest only ... Numerous ... cases stand for the proposition that the interest of the beneficiary of an Illinois land trust is personal property.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the requirement of this section that the debtor sign a security agreement is not intended to reject, and does not reject, the deeply rooted doctrine that a bill of sale although absolute in form may be shown to have been in fact given as security. Under this Article as under prior law a debtor may show by parol evidence that a transfer purporting to be absolute was in fact for security and may then, on payment of the debt, assert his fundamental right to return of the collateral and execution of an acknowledgment of satisfaction.”
