Probate - Researching using court information
What's the best way to start setting up probate deals? Using the court information, I can see when wills are presented, inventories filed and executors are listed. If I wanted to take a chance and send a letter, would I do my research to see if any real estate is involved, wait until the executor is appointed, then send the executor a letter? Is there a better way?

If inventory is filed, document should show that the decedent did indeed in fact had real estate. And yes you should continue doing your research to see if real estate was/is involved.
Check the inventory document that should list the real estate for (any) the decedent..
If your going to send a letter "I" try to be compassionate and sympathetic at the some time.
But the question is getting the executor/heirs' to open the letter...
The estate (family) is going through mixed emotions...
Stay positive....
