Probate mailing

[Eric Armstrong]

Hi all,

I have a probate list from 2014 for my county that I'm gonna mail, but it's not in the budget to mail all of them. What are your recommendations on time frame to mail them. Do you wait a certain amount of time to send your first mailing? How often do you mail? How much time goes by before you stop mailing? Thanks for your thoughts.

I would mail to the first batch of people who's descendants passed at least 2-3 months ago and then once you flip or have money again mail the ones who passed in 4-5 months ago and finally mail the 2014 December desendants. The 6 month and older have probably sold all ready but you can try them. 

I've found that 2 months from the passing of the loved one is the perfect time to mail them. It was also the time it took me to sell. I only mail once. Once they decide to sell the house they sell it. Some will decide to keep it and rent it. At that point send them here.
