If you are going to affiliate with an agency, go with a very small one, try to get 100% commission.

When anyone seems to defend a guru, they are called affiliates or even probed to discover if they are an 'affiliate'.

I suggest them to you because this firm is affiliated with KKOS Lawyers, a law firm that Kohler is also a partner in, and Mat Sorensen, another partner at the law firm, literally wrote the Self Directed IRA handbook. 

I have no affiliation with Loan Depot.

I myself am guilty of being on of those strongly speaking out against the "guru's", and while I fully comprehend why, you've helped hold up a mirror for me that I realize it is probably far from clear to most as to the why. 

I naively assumed if someone had an affiliate or preferred vendor they would do a better job of vetting them AND if things went wrong would proactively make things right. 

It costs about 250 a year to be an affiliate

PS, I am not affiliated with them whatsoever.

After utilizing a skip trace report from findtheseller.com (I'm not an affiliate but I'm a HUGE fan of the service), ancestry.com, and facebook, I finally tracked down the three heirs.

This is an important aspect to comprehend up front.
