Marketing to Probate List & Finding Executors of Estates

[Jason Reynolds]

Hey everyone!

I recently obtained a list from my county that is a list of all probate cases in my area. After they gave me the list, I realized there were a couple issues. A screenshot of the list is attached below for reference.

First, the list they gave me does not contain the name or address of the executor of the estate. I asked the county & they said they could not provide this info. This is the person who I ultimately want to get in touch with since they are going to be the ones making the decision on any real estate owned. Does anybody know of a way I could either find the executor of the estate, or market to this list in a way that the executor of the estate will likely be the person I end up contacting?

Also, there is no way to tell if the estates own any real estate from the list they gave me.

The best solution I've thought of to working around these restrictions is as follows: Have a VA go through the entire list one by one, enter the name of the person the estate is under into truepeoplesearch.com, find their most recent address, then go to the county site to see if they own that property (or if it's been transferred to their estate), and if they do, cold call/SMS/direct mail the list in hopes that we will somehow get lucky and get in contact with the executor of the estate.

I'd love to hear if anybody has any feedback on that idea, or if there is anything else I can do to make it easier to market directly to the executors of the estates. Thanks!!
