I want to take over probates in my market!

no one in my market really does probate so I want to take over. I have been going to the court house for probat files and writing down the executors (inheritor) name so I can mail them. I feel like there's a list that I can buy to make it easier. Any suggestions on a list I can buy? I will also appreciate any advice on how to go about this situation so I can take over the probate scene

@Ruben Torres  I applaud your desire to "take over probate" in El Paso. That of course won't be so easy. You will need to understand the probate process in Texas and how it's applied in your county. You'll also have to be the expert in probate terminology. Based on your original post you've got a lot of research and studying to go.

Probate is a very time consuming niche to get leads. If you want to "take over" probates you will have to become the expert probate problem solver. You will want it to be difficult to get leads as a barrier to entry from other investors. Learn how to pull current probate cases from your county courthouse then hire someone else to do it if it's a time burden to you. Don't hope for the easy way out like a list broker because then you'll have competition.

Also know that most likely it will be the most difficult real estate investor niche to work in.

Good luck.
