Hi Parth,
What you're going to be looking for when you get the probate filings is to check to see if the name of the decedent is still showing as the name of the owner. Basically, you just cross referencing the address with the county records or recorder of deeds. If the names show a match, then you have a solid lead.
It'll take some time if you have to actually go to the courthouse to pull this info but look at this way, there's not a lot of investors who are going to be willing to consistently put their time into doing so.
Go get'em.

E Martin,
you got some good advice from Ned about going back 2-3 years. Although it is a long time ago, you still may find some opportunities. It's important to get your name in the hat early, but you want to make sure that you consistently keep your name in it because as the months pass and the estates get older, other investors who are tyring to get that same property will start to fall off. That's just how it goes. You have to stay consistent with you contacts because these can and will take a long time to close. Those that are 2-3 years old, are ready to go but you'd probably be the only guy trying to approach them after that amount of time because most of your competition will have moved on to other things.
Go get'em.
