They are auctioned at the clerk of the courts office. My county does it once per year. You will need to call them to see how often they due it and how to register. There are some great books out on it though. SOme investors fly to other states to do it. Texas has a great program and so does Florida. Nevada is quite good also.

Paralegals are wonderful people.  But they don't have the judgment to help you decide what sort of living trust you might need.  Advising a client about trusts and drafting that trust really should be left to a lawyer in most cases.  You should find a lawyer who has knowledge and depth in estate planning and possibly income taxes too, depending on the size of your estate.  Check your local bar association for referrals.  Or look at www.findlaw.com for attorneys who specialize in these areas.  You want an attorney from your state and hopefully within a reasonable distance of your home.  Look for someone who practices at or near your county seat since that will be the location of the probate court serving your area.

WHERE in California are you?  Go to www.MikeRuss.org for locations.  I went to the one in Anaheim, CA to get my Life Agent license, but they also do P&C as well as Real Estate.  Good luck.

I wish I had a trust fund... ;)\n\nSurely if you have one, you also have access to an accountant that can answer this question for you ?

I would depend on the attorney you  hired. Probably anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 dollars.

The highest as of right now is around 5.46%, but it has a minimum of 10k.  This is at Countrywide in CA.\n\nBankrate typically lists quite a few.

Probably depends on the metro area you live in, and how much you invest into your business.\n\nThe first site cited below says $75,00-150,000, before all the overhead is subtracted.

I am never quite sure if posts like this are genuine or not. Assuming it might be....\n\n\nFirst of all you might want to visit a local bank and ask if they do a free guide-pack to help you do a financial plan. ANY investor is likely to want to see one - and you need to do one to get the figures right in your head too. 1,000,000 and 500,000 are remarkably round figures. the resource pack usually contains a free booklet and a free CD-ROM with some software to help you do your plan.\n\nNext you might want to show the design of your system, the hardware, software and mechanical designs and layouts.\n\n20 acres of land????????????

http://www.legaldocs.com/misc-s.htm\n\nI am no lawyer, but I think you can make your demand in a well written letter.\n\nWrite to him:\n\nDEMANDD FOR COMPLETE ACCOUNTING OF TRUSTEE _____________ FOR THE YEARS ______ AND _______.\n\nTHIS IS A DEMAN FOR A FULL AND DOCUMENTED ACCOUNTING OF ALL FUNDS SAID TRUST, ______________(hereafter to be called Trust in this demand).  This is to include out expenses of all types for running said TRUST, lawyer fees for running Trust.  This is to include all accounting of fund presently in trustees and any distributions there of.\n\nYou are given 10 days for date of this demand to comply.\n\nSomething to that effect.  \n\nHave the document signed and witnessed and if necessary go to your bank where notaries are free and get them to notarize that that is your signature.  Send you document by registered signed receipt mail.  \n\nMake a formal complainant to the State of Ill. Bar  Association.  The BBB.  And if your brothers and or sisters or whom ever else are in this trust have them copied.  \n\nThey may want to help.\n\nIf this is your trust only.  Get on it quick.  My father left my mother an Estate, her lawyer robbed her blind and left her with no funds. \n\nAgain, I am no lawyer, but you must make your demand in writing as the lawyer can say you never asked for it.  I think you might have a Free Legal Service there also....contact them today!!! \n\nGood luck.

Let me ask you a question. If I could show you something that made absolute total sense, where you didn't have to stock, sell or deliver products to your friends, there was a fully refundable membership fee that you couldn't loose; yet; you could add an additional $20-30,000 to your income this year with many people reaching a six to seven figure income, if it wasn't Amway or any multi-level scheme... would you spend 30-40 minutes with me and have a look? Contact me through my 360 page and I will show you. Here is the tax info I use.

We probably need more information to answer your question.\n\nA land trust will only provide limited protection to you as an investor/landlord.  All a land trust can really offer is anonymity to the trust beneficiary.  Your liability protection is provided by the LLC.  While land trusts are cheap to set up, doing so may not offer sufficient protection.  \n\nIn the end it really depends on what you want to accomplish.  Many beginning investors worry too much about how to set up entities and structure their deals.  My rule of thumb is you probably don't need more than a single LLC to hold your long term property investments. \n\nI would recommend that you discuss this with your attorney before making your final decision.

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR POSITION. IF YOUR A FAMILY MEMBER IT SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY TO SPEAK WITH THE FAMILIES ATTORNEY AND GET THE INFORMATION. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IT MAY BE A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING, THESE TRUSTS ARE RECORDED BUT AREN'T GENERALLY A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE WISE TO DISCUSS W/AN ATTY. IF YOU HAVE A GENUINE NEED TO KNOW A JUDGE COULD GRANT A REQUEST TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO YOU.

300 to 400 dollars to set up, it is usually a percentage for administration. They should not go hog wild on charges to set up or they will lose the account. They nickel and dime you on all of the other fees anyway.\n\nSample charges one company (this is a step up from their cheap plan):\nPRO 401k Plans\n(Using Multiple - Fund Families) \nSetup Fees:\n $500.00 \nPer Participant Setup Fees:  $5.00 \nAnnual Fees:\n $1,500.00 \nPer Participant Annual Fees: $25.00 \nLoan Setup Fees/Per Loan:\n $25.00 \nLoan Annual Fees/Per Loan:\n $25.00
