Probate Leads Question

Dear Fellow Wholesalers, I need some help..

I recently just started wholesaling and wanted to focus in on probate leads in my area. I went to the courthouse, paid for a couple months of probate leads, but I am having trouble on finding out if the property(house) is actually being sold; as "real property" could be a number of things.

There's a document sub-type(or filter) that states "Affadavit of Succession for Real Property" which seemed obvious, but when I looked up the definition, it stated "the person or persons signing the affidavit are entitled to the real property and the value of the real property is $75,000 or less."

There are other sub-categories, including Application for Informal Probate, Application for Formal Probate, Petition for Formal Probate, Petition for Trust. Before I start scrubbing this hefty list in the court office,

What happens to probate properties that are over $75K? Being that I don't want to be restricted by the fixated price of $75K, should I be looking into other sub-types that I should be looking into instead? Are there any other ways you all have found probate leads? Feel free to leave a comment or direct message me with ANYTHING you know. All advice helps. Thanks.
