How can I find inheritance leads?
Does any one know how to find inheritance leads?.
Unfortunately the company that sells them, is based here in San Diego and they
keep those leads " to themselves".
How Can I find these leads.

Here's the easy way:
Think of probate as a title problem. If you did not sell or transfer property prior to death, you are unable to sign a deed. (That would be quite a trick).
As for real estate, probate laws and courts provides a way for someone else to transfer assets, including real estate, subject satisfying any debts that you've incurred prior to passing.
As for real estate opportunities, think of them in terms of a timeline:
Pre-probate - prior to any legal title transfer
During probate - property sold during the probate process
Post-probate - property that has been distributed and transferred to an heir or beneficiary under a will
These are my definitions. They make it much more clear in discussions.
