Probate listings...How to understand them?

[Kenny Lewis]

I recently got the county's probate list for last month. As I sat to read them over I realized I don't understand how to read them. What means what. So I'm wondering if any of you probate wholesalers or investors know much about probate files and how to read the information to know 1. Who to mail to 2. If it's worth mailing to (if they have property to sell ).

One of the sections on each list is "bond amount". What does that mean? I can send pics of the list if you want to see what I'm looking at.
