I have been told the last person to leave a clan takes ownership of clan property.

I'm at work, so I can't try this. Make a character on another server and test it out.

If a player joins a Clan, the Clan Leader gets ownership of EVERYTHING. The player can no longer build in their own base, work on their own stations, or access their own toolboxes without the Clan Leader allowing them permissions. If the Clan Leader or another person in the Clan kicks a member for ANY reason, they loose EVRYTHING they invested time and energy into with the exception of any armors, tools, and weapons they are carrying on them.

Sadly, that's the way the clan system is set up right now. Everything you have will go into the clan's name thus becoming the clan's and not your character's property.
Here's another thread about it:

You also run the risk of getting the "This Land Is Already Claimed" bug after you join a clan on anything you've built. Server resets generally help with that.

after further testing if you are the last member of your clan you also leave your clan you will get a messege pop up warning you not to saying you will lose your things you do not once you leave your own clan if you are the last member you can then join another clan and take all your things with you

Make some wooden boxes and a small T1 structure near where you plan on moving. Start moving all the valuables to it..be quick about it. Have as much on you as possible and a pick or something that can open up what you stashed. And leave clan.

This may be a necro but due to outdated information, it's important for me to provide updated information for people who may find this thread from google.

As for today, this is still true. The last person to leave a clan will take ownership of everything.

You will get frightening in-game messages that all your buildings will be lost. This is not true. You won't lose them. You will retain all your buildings, containers, thralls, etc.

The reason I tried this is because I was a solo player that accidentally created a clan. I was about to leave it when it gave me frightening messages that I would lose all my buildings. Searching the internet seemed to give conflicting messages. Thankfully that wasn't the case.

Can confirm that Peter Pan is correct.
