I see there are 2 ways to form passive voice sentences with modals
1) Conujugation of a modal plus a present passive infinitive
2) Conjugation of sich lassen and a present active infinitive
#1 can become very awkward, especially in the future perfect with a triple infintive structure, so I lean towards the "sich lassen" approach.
Which is more prefential in written and spoken German?
