I'm sure this is specific to state laws.

@Jeff OwensCheck your local and state law.

Most people prefer direct mailers and become yellow letter specialists by researching the law of averages, templates, yellow letter vs regular letter, and even stuff like mailing on or near a full moon (I have no idea).

They will not cross lines of being legal council but they will give you some regulatory background on the matter and may take a complaint from you on him.The collection of the will fall under civil law.

agents aren't prosecuted because they aren't breaking the law, the buyers are breaking the law.

They have the right to know what the trustees authority and obligations are in relation to the trust.Even if the creator of the trust is smart, or well advised, and has that authorization in a separate document, that authorization will disclose the creator of the trust and honestly that is all that is needed to be off to the races.Trusts were not created in common or current law to guarantee privacy.

I've done the research and think $170k is reasonable, but if my offer of $100k is accepted that still gives a nice safety factor.

If at the examination level it is apparent that fraud was committed it can be turned over to an appropriate law enforcement agency, the Sheriff or State Troopers, but it could be FBI, FDIC, Treasury Dept. or HUD, depending on the matter, they all carry guns and badges, you get to go for a ride and based on the facts at hand, well you can guess.

OK, underneath it all i know you are right; I'm not a law breaker.

I.E, they have no tenants rights because they are not on the lease, be wary though there are some common laws regarding squatters.
