Probate Marketing Scripts: Letters and Call Scripts That Respect Heirs
Good probate marketing sounds like help, not a sales pitch. Use these sample letter and phone scripts as a starting point to reach executors and heirs with care, and adapt them to your voice and your local rules.

What people search for
Probate marketing is a high-cost niche, so every letter and call counts.
Sample first letter to an executor
I am sorry for your loss. I understand you may be handling the estate of [Decedent], including the home at [Address].
If it would help, I can share a free estimate of the home's value and explain your options, whether that is listing it, selling it as-is, or keeping it. There is no obligation.
Please reach me at [phone] whenever the time is right.
Respectfully,
[Your name]
Sample phone script
- Introduce yourself. "Hi, this is [Name]. I sent a letter about the home on [Street]. Is now an okay time?"
- Acknowledge the loss. "I'm sorry for your loss. I know this is a lot to handle."
- Offer help. "Many families want to know the home's value and their options. Would that be useful?"
- Listen. Ask what they are planning and what worries them most.
- Agree on a next step. A visit, a valuation, or a follow-up call at a time they choose.
