probate mailings

[Ed Kahle]

I just started probate mailings this past December.  Scored first mailing closing a property on an assignment of $10,500.00.  The owner deceased in late October and the date was early January to settle.   I've been doing absentee also.  Sometimes get a 7% response, sometimes less than 1%.  Seems mostly curiosity as to what they could get if they did sell.

I decided to stay with probate so each week I do about 70 new letters.  I get the list from the local paper.  Some names list the Executor's address but many list only the attorney's address.  If I want to follow up mail these four to five times per year, would I keep sending to the attorney?  The paper doesn't give the executor address or estate address, many times so what should I do?   Is there a list somewhere giving heirs addressees?
