Addressing Probate letters

[Min Qiu]

Hello everyone, I've been sending letters to inherited properties with USLeadList's list, and as some might know, they only provide the last names so I've been addressing my envelopes as "The Jones Family", etc.

I'm getting ready to send mail out to probate leads now.  I have the names of the deceased and the names of the personal representative.  However, I only have the address of the deceased person's property.  Here are my questions:

1)  If I address the letter to the Personal Representative at the deceased person's address, will the mailman deliver it if the PR does not live there?

2)  Would it be an OK or equally effective method to just address it as "The **** Family" using the deceased person's last name, instead of addressing it to the PR?

thanks in advance!

1) Maybe, if the Decedent's PR has filed a Chsnge of Address.

2) If the PR has a different last name or is unrelated, your tactic may not make sense. 

Don't overthink it and don't give up. You will be mailing a lot of letters in order to learn what does and doesn't work. That's all testing is. 

We used to have to lick stamps. Foul tasting glue. 

Only other tip: increase your frequency of touches, have something of value for the reader to read and show up in their nsilbox differently.
