A Texas Certificate of Conversion of a Corporation Converting to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a legal document that is used to facilitate the conversion of a regular business corporation into an REIT. This document is filed with the State of Texas and is required to be completed in order to complete the conversion process. It is used to transfer all the assets, liabilities, contracts, and other rights of the corporation into the new REIT. The document must include the name of the corporation and the name of the REIT, along with other information such as the date of conversion, the number of shares of the REIT, and the name of the trustee. There are two types of Texas Certificate of Conversion: one for public Rests and one for private Rests. Both documents are required to be filed with the State of Texas.
