Of course, there is very literally entities out there who make there living via filling frivolous lawsuits than offering settlements at cost savings vs one fighting to prove innocence, and they target those "marks" based on such searches.     

This is standard business practice - just look up how many settlements the SEC makes annually where companies pay millions in penalties WITHOUT ADMITTING to any wrong doing.- Cash-for-Keys is another example of this!

You can accept the settlement. 

It is in spirit of settlement but also I agreed up to a price - so I paid that price. 

I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.Here is my setupPurchased property under a TrustLLC in FL owns the TrustHolding company LLC in WY owns LLC in FLI purchased the property sub-to, took over the seller's mortgage and I’m working on setting up insurance for the property.I understand I need to keep the seller as additionally insured in my insurance, but the seller no longer has "interest" (ownership) either in the Trust, nor any of the LLCs nor in the Deed nor Settlement Statement.

Add the Trust as additionally insured on the new policy.The complication is that the seller no longer holds any interest in the Trust, LLCs, Deed, or Settlement Statement, which my broker says prevents them from being added to the new policy.

If you offer a settlement, they have a big advantage in the negotiation. 

I woke up too early, I won't ramble.It only took one note purchase to see the contracts, representation, warranties, disclaimers, endorsements, settlement, accounting and notices required.

Tosta’s settlement is subject to court approval.The SEC's investigation, which is ongoing, was conducted by Kendrack Lewis and Melvin Warren of the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office, under the supervision of Sarah S.

I think that is in the settlement claims phase.
