HeirSearch has always found my "missing" descendants and appropriately contacted them, so that they feel confident that the contact was not a scam. I am an attorney with an emphasis in probate; estate planning, including trusts, and property law. I have used HeirSearch since 2012 and have always received legally accurate results. My recommendation is not to waste your time in trying to find heirs and descendants, just go directly to HeirSearch. To do otherwise is a waste of your time and your client's.
