Working a Franklin County probate lead
Catch the estate when it opens
An alert brings each new Franklin County estate to you the morning after its notice runs, so you hear before the list goes stale.
Check what the estate holds
Look the decedent up in the county's property records by name and last residence. A house in the name of the deceased is the lead; an estate with no real property usually is not.
Reach the right person, respectfully
The personal representative has authority over the estate's property, and the attorney is usually the cleanest first contact. Write a short letter, mention the estate by case number, and expect a family in mourning.
Mind the window
A sale of estate property usually waits on the court or the will's terms. Ask the attorney what the estate needs before you make an offer.
The terms on a record, defined: the probate glossary. Not legal advice; follow your state’s rules on solicitation.
