What the week actually produced

These are the counts for cases filed August 24 to 30, 2026. Not a projection and not a good week chosen for display. It is the week that happened.

executor named, with mailing address
0%

84%
filed without an attorney
That last figure is the one to sit with. Four in five estates here were filed pro se this week. No attorney is on the case, which means nobody is running the process for that executor and nobody is screening their mail.

Earlier weeks

Counted the same way as the week above: cases filed inside the calendar week, from the clerk files published in that window. Filings the clerk publishes later show up as labeled stragglers in the next week's file, so a closed week's number stays where it was.

None of this week's 0 numbers came back on the Do Not Call registry. That varies: the July 21 to 28 pull had 11 of 55 on the registry. Either way we deliver flagged numbers labeled rather than removed, because stripping them out would leave you believing every row is callable when it is not.

The headline stats above count only the 56 cases filed inside the calendar week, so you can check them against the clerk's case search by filing date. The delivered file carries all 59, with the 3 stragglers included and labeled: they are real estates, they were simply published in a clerk file inside this window.

The audit of July 21 to 28, published in full

Seven sampled rows from that pull were looked up by case number in the clerk's own case search and compared against the court record. All seven existed, all seven were open, and every case number, filing date, case type and decedent identity agreed with what we delivered. 6 rows of the current week are flagged for the same audit before its first delivery; the result is published here either way.

What the audit found wrong

Two things, and we are publishing both.

Generational suffixes were being dropped. The court lists one decedent as FIELDS, NAPOLEON , JR. We were delivering Napoleon Fields. Same person, but the suffix was gone, and the fault was ours rather than the county's. Every row now carries a case_style field holding the clerk's own case title word for word, which is also the exact string the county's search displays, so verifying a row is a straight comparison.

Some weeks, a decedent address in ten is not in Florida. In the July 21 to 28 pull, 6 of 61 addresses of record were in Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Michigan, Illinois and New Jersey; in the current week, 1 of 59 are out of state. That is not an error either way. The address is the decedent's address of record as stated in the filing, and people sometimes die elsewhere while their estate is administered here. If you are working Hillsborough property specifically, you should know that before you buy, not after.

04  /  Fields

Every field, and how often it is populated

Measured on the 56 cases filed in the week above. Vendors rarely publish this. It is the fastest way for you to judge whether the feed is worth anything before you pay for it.

The 16 percent is not a defect. An attorney appears on the row only when one is named in the filing, and in this county most this week were not. A vendor reporting a high attorney rate here would be reporting something other than what the court holds.
05  /  Exclusions

What is filtered out, and why

The county's probate filings also contain guardianships, guardian advocate cases, risk protection orders and wills lodged for safekeeping. Every one of those concerns a living person. They are removed before the feed is built. You will never receive a guardianship of a minor dressed up as an estate lead.

We also discard contact matches marked deceased. The contact search runs against the property address, so the strongest match is frequently the decedent. Those rows arrive with an empty phone column and a flag explaining why, rather than with a dead person's number in it.

$199 per month, starting today. Your first month is the pilot: four weekly files like the sample above, the quality card with each one, and the First-30-Days playbook. Your first file is in your portal within 1 business day, then a new one every Monday, with an email from the desk to tell you it is ready.

After the first month: unless you cancel, it continues at the founding rate of $199 per month, and your rate does not go up while you stay subscribed. We email you 7 days before every charge; nothing is ever charged without that notice arriving first. Cancel anytime from your subscriber portal or with one reply to any of our emails.

The guarantee: if the pilot does not deliver what this page promises, email us within the four weeks and we refund the $199 in full.

07  /  Questions

Asked before buying

How fresh is this, really? The clerk publishes filing files daily. We compile the calendar week and post it every Monday, so the file covers the week that ended the day before. Your first file is in your portal within 1 business day of subscribing.

What exactly arrives? An email telling you the week's file is ready, and the file itself in your subscriber portal: a CSV with the fields exactly as listed in section 04, the county quality card for that week, and the First-30-Days playbook. We send the notice, not an attachment, so what you download is always the current version.

Can I check the data before paying? That is the intended use. The five rows in section 02 are real. The audit and both of its findings are published above, and every delivered row links to its docket entry in the county's own records.

What happens after the four weeks? Nothing switches over: this is a $199 per month subscription from the first charge, and your first month is what we call the pilot. Your rate is locked at the founding price for as long as you stay subscribed, and we email you 7 days before every charge. Cancel anytime from your portal or with one reply. The full terms are at checkout and in the agreement.

What if a week is thin? You get the file anyway and the quality card says so. Some weeks the county files few qualifying cases. We deliver what the county filed, not a quota.

Do you remove numbers on the Do Not Call registry? No. They arrive labeled, with litigator status, and the compliance decision stays yours. Removing them would misstate how many callable leads you have.

Can I use this to screen tenants or employees? No. This is public-record data sold for marketing use only. It may not be used to decide who gets credit, a job, insurance, or a tenancy. Those decisions are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and this is not a consumer report.

My county is not Hillsborough. Counties open when buyers ask for them. Email the desk with your county and how you follow up, and we will tell you what it takes.
