How do I approach the possible heirs of a vacant property I found

[Logan Kidwill]

I have recently found a vacant property while driving for dollars and I discovered that the owner sadly passed this past January. I believe in all likelihood the property is in probate seeing that ownership hasn’t been updated on the public records site. I have been able to find her husband; (who was not on the deed) as well as her children who are in their 40s. I have experience buying one property in a very similar manner this past July but I was able to get that gentleman’s number from a neighbor.

I have used whitepages to try and find the family members numbers and called all of them with no luck. I have their addresses and thought about writing a letter but I remember when my partners grandmother died, she received a bunch of direct mailers that made the family upset so I won’t do that. I have left a letter at the address for next time they check the mail simply describing who I am and that I would like the opportunity to buy the property. I don’t want to push to hard but I also don’t want to give up. Does anyone have tips on what my best next steps should be or tips on the best way to approach the situation.
