Story
Every real estate agent or broker (depending on the state in which you practice) all has the same challenge in common: Where are they going to get their next sale? Traditional methods of finding buyers and sellers such as contacting FSBO owners, “farming” neighborhoods, hosting open houses, and pursuing “expired” listings can be successful; however, they are often very competitive and can leave agents weary. One avenue that remains constant and viable is estate-related properties that are in probate, many of which are sold in the first six to 12 months after the owner passes.

Not as expected
This was a 50,000 foot view then a 1 inch view.
I was hoping this would include actual methodology to conduct a probate but it gave an overview and specific examples. It may be helpful for someone needing to see a big picture view but not for me, who needed nuts & bolts.
