Probate lead providers: who sells the filings, what a county costs, and who traces the heirs
Updated September 2026. Independent: no vendor saw this before publication. How we test
The short answer
Probate filings are public at the county court, the county’s property records show which estates own real estate, and Propwire lists probate properties free as a lead type. To have every case in your county delivered with the representative traced and DNC-checked, ProbateData is $147 a month for one county. Probate Money is $69 but covers only 13 California counties, and All The Leads quotes each county on request, with up to five traced phone numbers and attorney details per lead.
Paid links. If you subscribe through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes the order or the picks.

How much probate leads cost, by county and by what comes traced
The filing is free at the court, and Propwire’s lead type is free to download. The published subscriptions start at $69 on Probate Money, for 13 California counties, and $147 on ProbateData, for every case in one county with the representative traced and DNC-checked. PropertyRadar’s plans start at $119, and its probate page lists court-sourced cases with the attorney and relatives, without naming the counties.
Two providers publish no price at all: All The Leads and Estate Data Group quote each county on request. DataSift carries probate lists on a $297 add-on to its $149 plan, and tracing the representatives yourself runs 15¢ a row on SmartSkip.

Foreclosures Daily (ProbatesDaily) and ProbateLeads.com also sell probate records. Neither price could be read from its own site in September 2026, so they are not compared here.
The probate court file comes first, whatever you buy
Every provider here sells a copy of the same public record: the estate case filed in your county’s probate court. The file names the executor or administrator and an address to write to. What a provider adds is speed, a phone number and a list you do not have to build.
That makes the court the check on any provider. Read a few new filings yourself and see whether your list has them. The free court method shows how.
Contacting a family in probate: timing and the rules
The representative the court appoints handles the estate, so the file tells you who to write to and when. Calls and texts follow the usual rules: the Do Not Call registry and the TCPA. ProbateData and All The Leads check the numbers they sell against DNC lists.
Write to the address in the file once the court has appointed the representative, as the free court method describes, and check your state’s rules on buying from an estate before an offer. None of this is legal advice.
Questions people ask about probate tools
Where can I get probate leads?
Free from your county’s probate court, where estate cases are filed, or from Propwire’s probates lead type. Paid providers include Probate Money at $69 a month in 13 California counties, PropertyRadar from $119 with court-sourced cases, ProbateData at $147 for one county with skip tracing, and All The Leads and Estate Data Group, which quote each county on request.
How much do probate leads cost?
$0 from the court. On published prices, $69 to $139 a month on Probate Money in California and $147 to $847 on ProbateData for one to three counties. All The Leads and Estate Data Group publish no price.
Which probate lead companies include phone numbers?
ProbateData includes skip tracing and DNC checks, All The Leads traces up to 5 phone numbers per lead and checks them against DNC registries, and Estate Data Group says its records are skip-traced. Probate Money lists no phone numbers, and Propwire traces at 10¢ a match.
Is US Probate Leads still in business?
We could not load its site on 28 September 2026, and a probate lead comparison updated that month says the Better Business Bureau lists it as out of business. It is left off this page for that reason.
Are probate leads worth buying?
A provider saves the court searches and adds a phone number. For one county, the court file is free and a trace costs 15¢ on SmartSkip. For several counties, a subscription such as ProbateData’s saves repeated searching.
What is the difference between probate and pre-probate leads?
A probate lead comes from a filed estate case, which names a representative. A pre-probate lead is an earlier signal, before any filing. All The Leads sells both, and DataSift’s SiftMap Pro lists pre-probate and inheritance properties.
