Who to market to for properties in trusts

[Kyle B.]

After driving for dollars, a few of the houses I identified appared to be in trusts based on the county website. My question is how do I identify the best person to contact regarding the potential purchase of these homes? The information I was able to obtain from the county website was the owners name followed "Tr" which I'm assuming is short for trust.

Are these situations typically where the owners have passed away or could the owners have put the home in a trust for tax/gifting reasons (in which case I can still market directly to them)?

Thanks.
