What should you do if someone has died with no family and no will?
If you are dealing with the estate of someone who has lost touch with their family or may have no known relatives at all, it can be difficult to work out the next step for organising their affairs. This is even truer when they have not written a will. Unless you know where to find any missing people this could cost you time and money. Warren and West are specialists in discovering the whereabouts of missing relatives and in identifying the closest blood relatives when no information is known. Please give us a call at your earliest opportunity to see if we can find the rightful next of kin at no cost to you.
Sometimes people are named in a will as a beneficiary or legatee without any indication of their address. Perhaps the will was written so long ago that the person has since moved or died. If you are an Executor of an estate we can help you find missing people so you will be able to conclude the estate efficiently without unnecessary delay. If you need assistance finding people named in a will please get in touch and we will help you.
Many people become entitled to unclaimed estates each year because people have left no will and nobody knows how to find their relatives. Estates that are unclaimed are held by the Government Legal Department. If you believe you are related to anyone who has left such an estate, then please get in touch and we will help you in claiming any share of the estate to which you may be entitled.
