The Heir Hunters®
No Win No Fee.
We offer a claims service where we aim to undercut the fees of any of the recognised Heir Hunting firms in the UK. Our clients may also be entitled to FREE legal services for dealing with the administration of an estate and property conveyancing.
Beneficiaries.
If you believe that you are entitled to a share of an unclaimed estate and you have been approached by Heir Hunters who are proposing to charge you a fee that you are unhappy with give us a ring. You should not feel pressured into signing any form of agreement.
Solicitors.
We offer a beneficiary research and tracing service on a contingency fee basis where neither you nor the estate that you represent pay a fee. Our fee is negotiated with any missing beneficiaries that we trace ensuring that any existing heirs who are your clients are best served.
