Probate - Represented by an Attorney
I'm working to develop a direct mail list of probates based on public records in the area and I'm finding that in the list a number of them are represented by an attorney (instead of the individual). In the cases where the attorney is listed it seems to list the individual's name, followed by the attorney's office an address for their office. I assume that it probably doesn't make sense to send mail to these people since it would go to the attorney instead of the individual, right? Is there a good way to reach out to those individuals either through the attorney or some other way?
Thanks!

I'm an attorney and I do some probate work in South Florida. If the attorney isn't the personal representative, which doesn't appear to be the case in this instance, they still have a duty to present an offer to the PR if an offer is made - whether they do or not is another story. Other mass mailings typically don't get the same treatment.
