Most investors call the wrong person at the wrong time. TRELIze fixes that.

Probate deals don’t fall apart because investors make bad offers. They fall apart because investors call an executor who has no legal authority yet, pursue a case that requires court approval for every step, or waste weeks on an estate that isn’t ready to move.

TRELIze gives you the case details that tell you exactly where each estate stands — so your first call is always to the right person, at the right stage, with the right information already in hand.

Not just a filing. The full picture on every probate case.

⚖️

Administration type — the most important field

Independent administration means the executor can sell without court approval — deals move at normal speed. Dependent means every step requires a court order. Knowing this before you call changes everything.

📋

Case stage from the activity timeline

TRELIze tracks key events like Letters Testamentary (executor has legal authority) and Notice to Creditors (sale may be on hold up to 4 months). You always know whether the estate is ready to negotiate or still working through the legal process.

👑

Attorney of record — your first call

The attorney managing the estate is your best first contact — not the executor. TRELIze surfaces the attorney of record from the court record. Attorneys field these inquiries regularly and can tell you in 60 seconds whether the estate is open to offers.

👤

Executor contact via skip trace

When no attorney is listed, TRELIze skip-traces the executor directly. Phone numbers included at no extra cost. The contact is labeled so you know whether you’re calling an attorney or a family member — because those are very different conversations.

🏠

Appraisal district property data

Appraised value, square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, year built, and exemption status — automatically matched to every probate case. Know the property value before you make contact so your offer math is ready when the conversation opens.

📷

Google Street View

Exterior photo of every property. Assess condition and neighborhood before you drive by — useful for quickly triaging dozens of cases and identifying properties that need attention.

⚠️

Distress signal stacking

TRELIze checks every probate case for additional signals — Equity+, HOA lien, tax lien, out-of-state heirs, mail returned, eviction history. A probate case with an Equity+ flag and out-of-state heirs is a fundamentally different opportunity than a plain estate filing.

📅

Not every open probate case is an open door. TRELIze tells you the difference.

There are over 1,800 open probate cases across our coverage area at any given time. TRELIze sorts through all of it automatically.

Early Stage
Case just filed — no executor empowered yet
What to do: Make early contact to introduce yourself. Plant the seed before other investors arrive. Don’t expect a decision yet.
Executor Authorized
Letters Testamentary issued — executor sworn in
What to do: This is the moment to move. The executor can now negotiate and sign. Call the attorney of record today.
Creditor Window Open
Notice to Creditors published
What to do: A sale may be delayed while creditors file claims — typically up to 4 months. Stay in contact, follow up regularly, position yourself for when the window closes.

Most probate investors don’t know about heirship cases. That’s an advantage.

When a property owner dies without a will and the estate is small enough, Texas law allows heirs to transfer property through a determination of heirship — bypassing standard probate entirely. No executor is appointed. The heirs themselves control the decision.

Most investors pursuing probate lists never see these cases, don’t know how to approach them, and don’t know who to call. TRELIze flags heirship proceedings with an alert on the property card and identifies the attorney handling the proceeding — your first and most important contact.

Multiple heirs often means motivated sellers — especially when they live out of state, disagree on what to do with the property, or simply want to close the estate cleanly and move on.

⚠️
Heirship Case Detected
TRELIze flags this case as a determination of heirship. No executor has been appointed — the heirs control the decision directly. Attorney of record is your first contact.

Find it. Save it. Follow up consistently.

1 — Find the right cases

Filter to probate. Sort by administration type — independent cases first. Check the activity timeline for executor authorization. Use the distress signal filter to surface cases with Equity+, liens, or out-of-state heirs. You’re looking for the ones ready to move.

2 — Save your pipeline

Tap Save to prospects on every case worth monitoring. Review weekly, follow up consistently, export to CSV for your CRM or dialer. Probate deals close for investors who stay in the conversation — not the ones who call once and disappear.

3 — Set zip code alerts

New probate filing in your target area? You’ll get a text the same day. Set up to 5 zip codes and choose the time that fits your workflow. You’ll know about new cases before most investors check their weekly list.

The right approach makes all the difference in probate.

Probate involves grieving families, complex legal processes, and decisions that affect multiple people. The investors who consistently close probate deals approach every contact with patience and empathy — not urgency.

TRELIze is built for that approach. The Next Steps guide on every probate card gives you a plain-English playbook for that specific case — whether to call the attorney first, how to approach an executor directly, or how to navigate a heirship situation where no executor exists. The script is written for a human conversation, not a high-pressure pitch.

The goal of your first call is never to close a deal. It’s to open a door.

The best probate deals aren’t just probate.

A plain probate filing is a lead. A probate case with an HOA lien, an Equity+ signal, and out-of-state heirs is a deal.

TRELIze stacks 15 distress signals across every property and flags the cases where multiple conditions converge. These hot leads sort to the top automatically.

Probate + Equity+
Heirs have significant equity to gain from selling. Strong motivation to move quickly rather than manage the property long-term.
Probate + Out-of-state heir
Heirs who don’t live locally are less emotionally attached and more likely to accept a clean cash offer over a prolonged listing process.
Probate + HOA lien
Financial pressure on top of legal process. The estate needs to resolve the lien at or before closing — a fast cash offer removes the complication.
Probate + Mail returned
The executor or heirs are unreachable at the address of record. Skip-traced contacts become your only path in.
