How do I find the owner's of an estate?

[Cheryl Bennett]

I've found a property when driving for dollars that is owned by an estate. In my initial research, I can not find any children of the deceased owners. How can I find the owner's of the estate to contact them about buying their vacant distressed property?

As Patrick mentioned, the best way would be to go to the county courthouse and look into the records. This of course is county specific, but I know in Gwinnett they have an office designated for researching the estate owners information as it is all public or they have a subscription you have to pay where you can get access from home at anytime.

In regards to your question about finding out about the owner, if listed on the tax assessors office as an LLC then go to the state website (sos.ga.gov) and look up that business, which would give you the registered agent as you mentioned. Then you would simply google or skip trace this person and cold call them. This has worked for me when searching for off market deals, but of course sometimes you won't find a relevant contact number. Another strategy I have used is door knocking the neighbors to find information about the property.

I hope this helps and Best of Luck!!!
