Our team of investigators is highly trained and experienced in matters of estate and probate research. Missing heirs can be found. Each year thousands of estates lay unclaimed because the identity or whereabouts of heirs or legatees are unknown. These estates become orphan fortunes , and those legally entitled, however deserving, remain unaware of this potential windfall. The reasons are often understandably regrettable.
Families drift apart.
Over time relatives lose track of one another. For others no simple clues exist pointing directly to next of kin. Even unrelated legatees, openly named in a decedent's Will, have simply disappeared. Many executors and administrators, even attorneys and others interested in the administration of estates, find they lack the time or expertise to handle the most complicated searches. But the rightful claimants to most orphan fortunes can be found.
