What to do when you know the owner is deceased?

[Jim Charles]

So, I started using DealMachine this weekend. I put a local house into the app and it told me that it was owner occupied.  It was apparent that this was wrong.  After pulling the tax records on the house, it appears that the owner died and it is managed by the estate, but quickly falling into disrepair.  I want to start a mailer campaign, but I'm not sure how to proceed.  How would you address the mailer?  I don't want to address it directly to the deceased.  Do I use "The Estate of xxxx" or something along those lines?  Something completely different?  Would the mail typically be forwarded to the executor?  Is there some way to find a direct line to the executor if not?  Anything else I should know/be sensitive to?  Any advice would be appreciated.

You already know the estate is managing the property @Jim Charles

The executor is the Personal Representative. That is the person to whom you would be contacting. You'll have to make the trip down to courthouse to view the probate file and research it for the PR's contact information.

The clerk is going to request the decedents name and probate case number in order for you to view the file...
