@Tiffani Crenshaw, if you are able to file an in personam QT (meaning you can identify all claimants and serve the lawsuit papers on them) and take a default judgment, you are looking at $800 to $1,000. 

While it is possible that a fancy asset protection set up might give you some negotiation leverage with such a claimant, this ephemeral "benefit"  is probably not worth the cost in most situations.The idea that there are unscrupulous attorneys out there that first look for equity and then manufacture reasons to sue you is a fear pitch used by asset protection salespersons, but it is not really based on any kind of reality in my experience.

You would do well to request a copy of probate "Letters" to review for powers.If full powers, a (15) calendar day notice of sale is sufficient, unless an objection by claimants, creditors or heirs.If limited or special powers, court confirmation is required and may be subject to overbid.
