It was your off the wall comments hinting at what you wanted to talk about rather than just addressing the question, ;)I think Rick gave some good insight with probate.The SAFE Act, somthing that Rick has stated he's not concerned with, will usually not be a concern for the buyer, but is as a seller or assigning, buying or selling notes.I assure you, I've done more seller financing deals and bought, sold and serviced more than any big hat with no cattle and I too suggest you watch who you listen to.
