Probates in Michigan... Protected?

[Michael Lerch]

I haven't researched how probates work in Michigan, but I figured maybe someone knows the answer and save me a lot of time looking around.

I tried to get probate records today at the courthouse, and the clerk told me that I can research up to 10 records, and I need to know the case / file numbers. I told her I don't know, and that I'm basically just try to contact the PR/Probate attorney and families that are in probate about buying their inherited estates. She said she can't do anything unless I have the case/file numbers... oh, and only 10 records :( that's not much of a direct mail campaign. This is why I think they're protected, but it also might just be my county being a pain in the butt.

Does anyone do probates in Michigan that might be able to help me out on finding this information? Only way I can think of is reading obituaries and contacting the Probate attorneys.

Thanks

Michael I use usleadlist call and ask them for probate or inherited counts in your area. Tell terry or lance that you heard about them through Sean Terry's podcast and you can get A discount of 10 cents. Something like a 1.35 a lead. They have the best list IMO. They also have letters you can use.
