Pre-Probate

What is Pre-Probate?

Properties flagged with a deceased owner (pre-probate) often signal upcoming transitions, even before probate is filed. Many heirs live out of the area or are unprepared to manage the property, making these homes more likely to be sold. By identifying them early, you can connect with families before outside pressures mount.

The Right Audience

Properties where the primary owner is flagged as deceased. These often overlap with aging homes, absentee heirs, or vacant status— strong signals that a sale is the most likely outcome.
Deceased?: Yes Est Equity %: 30+ Listed for Sale?: No

The Right Message

Approach with empathy and discretion. Avoid directly referencing the owner’s passing—instead, focus on offering support with property transitions. Messaging should emphasize ease, privacy, and flexible solutions for heirs managing an unexpected responsibility.
