Probate Leads Fuel Your Business
When a loved one passes away, they generally leave quite a bit of property behind, which has to be sold by the Executor of the estate. The Executor is the court appointed representative of the individual who has passed away and has the job of making sure that legal and tax paperwork is filed in a timely manner and, once the assets are sold, will make distributions to heirs as noted by the will or the court system.
Gary Digrazia writes,“ In my Probate Real Estate business our life blood, of course, is the leads we work. Estates have real property which needs to be sold to settle the estate. Where do we receive the leads and how do we have a constant supply for now and future business?” 1 This is really a core question for every probate real estate investor to answer. If you are working in the probate business, then you know that having access to data is critical in order to move your business forward. As an investor, you certainly can take the time to visit your local courthouse to see the records in person. When you are beginning your business, this is probably a good exercise in understanding the process of how probates are filed and what is necessary in ensuring that the property is sold and the profits are distributed. Taking the time to see and understand the process can be helpful in gaining a broad understanding of how the probate process works.
That said, taking half a day on a regular basis to visit your local courthouse can become a drain on your business. In addition to the travel involved in going, there is the use of gas, the time spent parking, paying for parking if necessary, and then the hours spent finding and locating viable leads. While having access to viable probate leads is a necessary part of the business, it frankly might not be the best use of your time.
