It seems that there are investors who will argue both sides, but increasingly we hear that postcards are superior in that while they drive less phone calls, the leads that DO call will be much better.I dropped 100 letters in the mail on Wednesday night, 100 yesterday, and about 350 this morning.

You can also stipulate conditions for when the assets of the trust is distributed such as age, working or attending college, drug free, whatever.Family or AB or ABC trusts  are easy taxwise, you put it on your personal income tax same as it was yours, because it is. 

It seems anybody with half a brain will see, "Hmmmm, 123 Main Street has been owned by ABC Trust since 2004.
