Heir Search Services

Heir search refers to the process of locating and identifying individuals who are entitled to inherit the assets of a deceased person under the laws of inheritance. This can involve researching family trees, analyzing legal documents, and conducting skip trace investigations to determine who the rightful heirs are.

The process of heir search is often necessary in cases where a person dies without a will, or when the heirs are unknown or cannot be easily located. Heir search services can be conducted by individuals, law firms, or specialized heir search companies. The purpose of the search is to ensure that the deceased person's assets are distributed fairly and in accordance with the laws of inheritance.
