Agents, lenders, and CPAs refer to the attorney they heard from last. That's rarely the one who did good work two years ago.

AI draft for Luis & Carmen A. · 48 Willow Bend
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez,
You've owned your home on Willow Bend for nearly 30 years. For many families, the home is the largest asset they'll pass on, and without a plan, it can end up in a probate process that takes months and costs more than it needs to.
A simple estate plan, often a will or revocable trust and a few supporting documents, can make sure your home passes the way you intend. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to explain your options in plain language.
If that would be helpful, scan the code or call my office. If you already have a plan in place, please disregard this letter.

How real estate and estate attorneys use direct mail responsibly
Most real estate and estate planning work comes from two places: referral partners who trust you, and people facing a decision about their property. Direct mail can serve both, as long as it's respectful, useful, and compliant with your state bar's rules.
For referral partners, aim for usefulness. A quarterly update on a legal change that affects agents' transactions, a landlord law update for investors, or a short guide your partners can share with clients keeps you in mind without asking for anything.
For prospective clients, attorney advertising rules apply. Most states permit targeted written solicitation, but many require the letter to be labeled as advertising material, include specific disclaimers, avoid certain claims, and in some cases be filed with the bar or kept on record. Some practice areas and situations have waiting periods or additional restrictions. Check your state's rules of professional conduct and have your template reviewed before mailing.
Tone matters as much as compliance. Letters about estates and probate reach people during significant life moments. Plain, respectful language that explains options and invites a no-pressure consultation builds trust; urgency and fear do not.

FAQ
Questions from real estate attorneys
Can attorneys send targeted direct mail?
Most states allow targeted written solicitation, with rules on labeling, content, and sometimes filing or waiting periods. Check your state's rules of professional conduct and have your template reviewed.
Does Spur add "Advertising Material" to my letters?
You control the letter content and can include any required labels and disclaimers in your template. Every letter is approved by you before it's mailed.
Can I keep a record of what I mailed?
Yes. Spur keeps a record of each campaign, its recipients, and when pieces were mailed.
Can I market to real estate agents and lenders?
Yes. Many attorneys use Spur mainly for referral-partner outreach, with quarterly updates relevant to their partners' work.
Is it appropriate to contact families about probate?
It can be, if done respectfully and within your bar's rules, which may include specific restrictions or waiting periods. Many attorneys focus instead on estate planning for long-time homeowners, before a probate situation arises.
