- Fair Estate Settlement: Finding all rightful heirs ensures the estate gets settled according to the dead person’s wants and follows the law.
- Legal Duty: People in charge of estates must find all possible heirs by law. This stops wrong estate handouts and legal problems.
- Stopping Fraud: Finding real heirs helps keep the estate safe from fake claims.
- Family Stories: Looking for heirs can fill in gaps in a family’s history showing links and relatives no one knew about before.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing the estate was given outright helps the dead person’s family feel like things are done.
