County-record properties flagged with estate-transfer indicators — title transferred to a successor outside the typical buy/sell pattern. Often vacant. Often a household that didn't plan to own real estate. Often motivated to liquidate quickly.
Most "probate lead" vendors imply they have court records. They mostly don't. Here's exactly what we have and exactly what we don't.
What we have: property records where the recorded ownership transferred via inheritance pattern — typically deed-style "transfer on death," "executor deed," "heir deed," or sudden title change to a household member matching a deceased prior owner. This is the upstream signal that most "probate lead" vendors actually use.
What we don't have: direct probate-court case filings, notice-of-probate publications, executor appointment dates from court dockets, or estate inventory documents. Those live behind paywall + per-county scraping that we don't run.
Why it still works: if you're looking for inheritors with property they didn't ask for and probably don't want, estate-transfer county records find the same cohort 90%+ of the time — without the multi-month delay of court-docket scrapers. Faster signal, same humans.
Inherited-property leads only convert for very specific outreach patterns. If you're not one of these, run a different preset.
Inheritor often lives in a different state, doesn't want maintenance, doesn't want to deal with tenants or repairs. Cash offer at moderate discount usually clears in 14-21 days.
Heirs frequently need help with title, taxes owed, estate inventory. Outreach at the estate-transfer moment lands a multi-month attorney engagement.
Pre-market inventory. Heir often skips MLS to avoid showings on a house they don't live in. Direct contact unlocks off-market deal flow.
The house contents are a problem before the house is. Estate-cleanout services convert at significantly higher rate against this exact cohort vs cold neighborhood lists.
Same 90-column schema as our main Lead Lists product. Inherited preset adds the estate-transfer flag + a few inheritance-specific signals.
Specific to inherited / probate-adjacent leads.
No. Probate court records are case filings (notice of probate, executor appointment, estate inventory) that live in county court dockets. We don't have those. We have estate-transfer indicators from property records — which catch the same cohort upstream of when probate court filings would appear in public databases. See honesty layer above.
Property records refresh weekly to monthly per county. Estate-transfer flag appears within 30-60 days of the title change in most counties. Compared to court-docket scrapers (typically 90-180 day lag), our signal is meaningfully faster.
Roughly 200k-250k residential property title transfers per year fall in the estate-transfer pattern (HUD baseline). Coverage varies by state — some states (CA, TX, FL, GA, NC) refresh title records weekly; others (rural MS, WV, parts of MT) refresh quarterly.
For inherited records, expect ~65-75% phone match (at least one phone returned per inheritor). Slightly lower than owner-occupied because heirs often live in different states or moved into the property — both create skip-trace friction. RPC (right-party contact) on cold dial sits at industry baseline ~25%.
Yes — stack any combination via the custom preset or via wizard checkbox after selecting "Inherited Property." Other common stacks: inherited + free-and-clear, inherited + out-of-state mailing address, inherited + high equity.
$0.50 (Stripe processing minimum). At $0.22/row that's about 3 rows. If your county + filter only matches 1 row, the minimum still applies and you get the 1 row.
Yes for non-solicitation cold contact via mail or non-DNC phones. We DNC-scrub every phone before you download. Our terms of service require you confirm compliance with TCPA + your state's laws before dialing. Terms.
The wizard shows live row count before payment — if your geo + filter returns 0, you don't pay. Try expanding to a multi-county region or stacking weaker inheritance signals (long-tenure ownership + recent vacancy) via the custom preset.
No subscription. $0.50 minimum. CSV in minutes. Stack with vacant + free-and-clear filters for the highest-motivation cohort.
