Gone Without A Trace

An unexpected inheritance helped a man get back on his feet.

The man hadn’t had contact with his family for years, but when he was named in his uncle’s will as the heir to a sizeable trust, the search to locate this family member was on. When the bank in charge of the trust was unsuccessful in finding the lost heir, they turned to HeirSearch.

It had been 25 years since anyone had last seen or heard from Dane. He had no contact with his family and had seemingly disappeared without a trace.

When Dane’s uncle passed away, he left him a large trust in his will. Dane had fallen off the radar, so how would he get his inheritance? Dane had no known previous address or any electronic footprints, but HeirSearch experts were ready for the challenge.

To locate a missing family member, HeirSearch looked to his friends from the past.

Our investigation led us to identify and locate several friends and former acquaintances one of whom was able to provide us with new information and a legitimate lead.

When he received the trust from his uncle’s will, Dane was overcome with emotion and gratitude. Thanks to the funds he received, Dane bought a house and paid for his much-needed surgery.

Thanks to HeirSearch’s specialized expertise, our forensic genealogists were able to solve the case, even without a prior address or previous contact information.
