- Decedent's name, and any name they were also known as
- Court, county and case number
- Date of death and last residence, where the notice prints them
- Date first published and the creditors' claims deadline
- Personal representatives, with the mailing address printed
- The estate's attorney, with phone, email and bar number where printed
- Daily or weekly alerts for the counties you watch
- CSV export of a county or a state, on Pro and Business

Working a Sumner County probate lead
Catch the estate when it opens
An alert brings each new Sumner 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
6 estates here are still inside the creditors' window, and estates here typically open about 121 days after the death. A sale usually waits on the court; ask the attorney what it needs.
