# What is a pre-probate lead?

Pre-probate leads are generated when a recent **notice of death** is matched with **verified real estate ownership records**. These leads are provided *only* when the deceased owned property, making them highly relevant for real estate professionals.

Because probate isn’t always filed — or may be delayed — pre-probate leads allow you to engage with heirs early, typically **before** a probate case begins. They also help you connect with families who may want to sell inherited property that will **never** go through the probate process.
