Pre-Probate Real Estate Leads: Reach Families Before the Probate Case Opens

Pre-probate real estate leads identify inherited homes before an estate files in probate court. We build them by matching recent death notices and obituaries with ownership data, so investors and agents can start research early and approach families with respect.

How it works

How pre-probate leads are built

  1. Death notices and obituaries. We monitor recent notices.
  2. Ownership match. We match the person to property they owned.
  3. Contact research. We identify likely heirs or family contacts where possible.
  4. Delivery. New pre-probate leads are delivered daily, by county.
Pre-probate vs probate

How pre-probate differs from probate leads

Pre-probate

Before a case is filed. Earliest timing, but heirs may not have decided anything yet.

Probate

After a case opens. An executor has, or will soon have, authority to sell.

Using both

Start conversations early with pre-probate, then follow up when probate opens.

Respectful outreach

Approaching families with care

Pre-probate contact happens soon after a loss. Wait a respectful interval, keep your first message short and helpful, offer information rather than a price, and stop if the family asks. Always follow Do Not Call and telemarketing rules.
