Heir Hunters - Advice Needed Please
I got a letter from Fleetwood heir hunting services this morning (www.fhhs.co.uk)
It stresses that they will not ask for payment and have given some information about my family that is accurate.
Is there any way that I can trace the estate that they have are investigating?
Is it legit? - nothing on Google says that the company is not legit but I am so untrusting and suspicious.
My brother has not had a letter - yet!!

I mmean yeah if you can find out the name of the possible dead person there is no reason why you shouldnot do it yourself
Time by the way is NOT of the essence - rules of intestacy do NOT work like that

I was contacted by one of these firms some years ago after a distant relative that I did not know of had died. It cost me nothing as they took a % of the estate but I did receive a windfall of about £800 and they gave me all the documents showing the family relationships. I would never have been able to do this without help. Apart from the initial interview there was no more face to face contact. They kept my informed by letter. I am glad I did it.
My brother also got a letter and it was discovered who had died and when.
There are over 20 beneficiaries and the estate is not all that much. But it is money that I had not expected to get so I am pleased with the outcome.
Thanks for all the help - it is sad that my first thought was that it was some type of scam.

You could always start your own investigation using the info they have given you.... Births, Marriages and Deaths etc, or registry offices, you could even open an account with an online search company, or you could put your trust in them but pull out at the first instance you aren't happy. Don't forget though, it isn't guaranteed to bare fruits, and could end up costing you....

I talked it over with my brother and we decided to sign the forms. The estate is about £11k but there are 20++ people entitled to a share of the estate.
I can't cope with life in general and having to deal with my cousins/aunts/uncles etc is something that nobody should have to endure.
Thanks for you input. I will now return to constructing a cat 'wish list' for Santa Kitty (my brother). :-)
