A Compelling Case Study: Lost Then Found

To illustrate our ability to solve complex inheritance cases, let us explore a remarkable case study that showcases our expertise in action:

An attorney contacted HeirSearch on behalf of the personal representative of an estate – whose father had recently passed away in Missouri. The estate was of sizeable value, and the location of her brother, Jason White, was unknown.

With a distribution being held by the court for the benefit of the estranged son or his heirs, the estate could only be settled by doing the due diligence to discover what became of Jason. HeirSearch’s forensic genealogical expertise was required to locate the missing son, verify if he was alive, and, if deceased, whether or not he had any issue.

Jason was a Vietnam War veteran and, when he returned home, lived close to his family but ultimately chose a vagrant lifestyle. He would stay in touch with postcards and phone calls over the years until, suddenly, the communication stopped. It had been over ten years since they had heard from him, and, as far as they knew, he may have been deceased.

With a date of birth, Social Security Number, and a shelter in New Mexico as a possible last known address to work with, HeirSearch’s investigation into Jason’s whereabouts began.

Jason’s transient history, experiences with homelessness, and unstable employment record presented HeirSearch’s research team with numerous obstacles, complexities, and challenges.

However, with their expertise, our forensic genealogists’ investigation traveled from one shelter to another, mapping Jason’s history across the country to Arizona.

Here, we identified a mobile phone number as a possible match with Jason’s information.

Within 24 hours of the lead, HeirSearch spoke directly with Jason, who subsequently confirmed his identity as the heir to his father’s estate.

HeirSearch’s experts provided the attorney with a report supporting his identity. Even in this challenging case, we were able to confirm Jason’s location and identity, and the attorney was able to satisfy the Court, settle the estate, and an estranged family was at long last reunited.
