How do Access probate information at Court house?

[Alvin Grier]

I was recently watching an instructional video by a local real state wholesaler, who said that I should be able to go to my local probates records department and just ask for the files from the last 2 weeks of probate court.

I am trying to do this research, so that I can find people who may have been awarded properties via probate court that don't really want to own those properties.

When I went down to the probate court today, they told me that they can't give files out in that manner, and that I would need to provide them specific case numbers.

With that being the case, how would I go about coming up with the case numbers?

And if it's not possible to come up with the case numbers, how else might I go about finding people in this situation?
