How our pre-scrubbing process works


How to Use Probate Data for Scrubbing and Skip Tracing


  1. Gather Data from Courthouse Records


  • Probate Data collects information from filed petitions for probate at courthouses.
  • Data includes property details, personal representative (PR) information, and attorney contacts.
  • Note: Phone numbers or email addresses may not always be included in the filings.
  1. Scrub Data with Advanced Tools


  • Names and addresses of PRs are processed with data providers like IDI and CoreLogic.
  • Missing phone numbers and email addresses are located using these tools.
  • If phone numbers are on the "Do Not Call" (DNC) list, this is flagged for your decision.
  1. Retrieve Additional Property Information


  • CoreLogic is used to verify and gather comprehensive property details such as:


  • Ownership information
  • Sale history
  • Square footage and other specifications
  1. Cross-Check Property Status on MLS


  • Probate Data checks the MLS to confirm if the property has been listed or sold.
  • This information is updated continuously, even months after the probate case is filed.
  1. Provide Actionable Insights


  • After a year, unsold and unlisted properties are flagged, ensuring the data remains accurate and relevant.
  • This helps you identify high-potential leads that still require assistance.


Summary: Probate Data ensures you receive reliable, up-to-date information about probate properties and decision-makers, helping you confidently reach out and offer your services.
