I have the choice of Locking the basis at the time of death or on the date 6 months after(do not know the specifics how you do this).

Huge companies like Pepsi, P&G, JC Penney and others pulled money from direct mail and TV ads to put it into digital, and are now slashing their digital budget and putting money back into traditional channels.Industry experts were predicting the death of direct mail a few years ago, but the numbers actually show direct mail growing year over year for the last several years.You're right that direct mail to absentee landlords is a pretty crowded space.

Every now and then, I'd be able to find a death certificate, which would have the decedent's residence.

After the closing of this home which was inspected and punched out fully, my understanding is - the tenant went through a sickness or death of a child and got divorced and took it all out on the property (as you can see.)  

He'd have to send a copy of the death certificate to notify the lender.

Death records are public I believe. 

So, in essence, that amount stays around $18,000 and has done so for the last 19 years.In addition, the court order reads that in the event of (the ex-husband's) death, his estate would be responsible for the payments.

On to fees: Minimum Death Benefit is a must.

The money you spend and the time you waste getting a degree that won't take you anywhere and saddles you with debt is the death knell of personal prosperity.

Thus the death of the Golden Goose,  ;-)
