Have you been contacted by an heir hunter?
When a person dies without making a will in the UK, it becomes the job of Heir Hunters to track down their living closest relatives to pass on their estate to it's rightful heir.
Contact from a genuine heir hunter should be a positive experience, one that could even change your life forever with a large unexpected sum suddenly arriving. Regrettably, there are a number of rogue and inexperienced traders in the industry, or others seeking to charge excessive fees and profit from your situation. If you are unsure whether your recent contact from an heirhunter is legitimate or a scam, contact a member of our team.
We unfortunately hear too late from members of the public who have signed up with firms promising to ease the process of claiming their inheritance. Many of these firms charge very high percentage fees for their services, often meaning the rightful heir sees only a small fraction of the estate they are entitled to.
