What Is an Heir Search, and When Does a Case Need One
An heir search is a genealogical investigation that identifies and proves every person legally entitled to inherit from an estate. Norby Bandan, founder of HeirPros, explains when a probate case needs one, why the exposure lands on the fiduciary who approves distribution, and what a probate court accepts as proof that the search was reasonable.
He also covers where searches break down, how records change at every border on cross-border cases, and what the attorney receives at the end: a full report of findings with its sources, a time log, and copies of every record pulled. A straightforward case can be handled within a month. Pricing is flat rate, never a percentage of the estate.
