This was a great experience with HeirSearch. I cannot estimate how much time and money we would have spent if we tried to handle this search ourselves. The time and cost to obtain documents were well worth your efforts. I will be sure to pass your company on to others here who are in need of and heir search.

The folks at HeirSearch did exhaustive research for a case where no heirs had been identified as the distributees of an estate valued at over $1.5million. Thanks to HeirSearch, 8 people who never met the decedent will be sharing a very unexpected inheritance. Great work.
