Navigating Probate

I have found probate investing to be one of the most lucrative niches in real estate investing. It is also one that most people assume is difficult to navigate. The truth of the matter is that it is a relatively simple and straightforward process once you have a basic understanding of the probate process.

How Do I Find Out Where I Can Get A List Of Probates?

It’s really easy. Look up the phone number for your local probate court and give them a call. Ask how you can get a list of probates. They will tell you exactly how their system works.

In some areas you can get those leads online, or you may even be able to purchase a list.
