Probate Leads are one of the most profitable areas of Real Estate. It's not a difficult market, yet it's the least understood and can be time consuming looking up Probate Cases to obtain sufficient information to market. So what is a Probate?
When someone dies, usually an Executor is appointed (with or without a Will) to ensure that Creditors and Heirs are notified. The Executor is responsible for ensuring that creditors are paid and that the property and personal belongings of the deceased are distributed to the Heirs. Often times, the Executor will obtain an attorney to assist in the filing and events needed during the Probate process.
Both Real Estate Agents and Investors take benefit from these type of Leads. Agents can contact the Executors of the deceased's estate and offer to "list" the real estate property for sale (audience of direct buyers or "buyer" Real Estate Agents. Investors can make an offer to purchase the property if the Executor is looking for a quick sale. So your first point of contact should be to the Executor (also known as the Petitioner, Personal Representative or Administrator), then follow up with the Attorney. (Note: creating a good rapport with attorneys is a good way to get referrals regarding future Probate Leads.)
