When To Start Probate Mailings

[Gary Parker]

At the end of March I will have sent letters to probate prospects for six months. I have been gathering the data every Monday for the previous week's filings and mailing a professional letter then a post card every 30 days two times, then a letter every 60 days. After 2 60 day mailings I may move to 90 day or just stay at 60 days for a year or so. My assumption is that once a family files the probate they are ready to deal with the estate. I have purchased two properties from this.

Starting in April I may test a different mailing time line. My question is when are others mailing to their probate prospects...right after filing or waiting a while.

Thank you in advance for your replies.
