best places to get probate/inherited house leads?

I want to find the best place to get probate leads. One local wholesaler said he went through the obituaries and mailed to family members a few weeks after the notice. I am not sure how effective that would be? Is there a place to get lists of people handling the estates of people recently deceased?

What do you typically say in a first contact letter? Do you acknowledge the death or make it more general?

Thanks!!

    Ellis,

    The courthouse is the best place to get all types of information on real estate.

    Go to Resources (blue menu bar)>file Place>Letters and there is a sample probate letter there.

    There are varied opinions on if you should mention the death or not. I personally dont think there is a right or wrong answer; rather, the answer is what works best for you and your market. Test and tweek as you go along. Search @Sharon Vornholt for lots of good tips on direct mail for probate.
