This person (divorced for many years and childless) died suddenly a few years ago. His siblings know that he had bank accounts on the internet and throughout the USA.
Are there reliable professionals who do this on a commission basis?
Besides for searching Unclaimed Fundsin all the states, which wouldnt show up for years, what is there to do?

So if its already been a few years since this person died any money he may have had should appear soon(ish)

September 15, 2011 4:48 pm at 4:48 pm #809745OfcourseMemberHe was discovered dead in a motel room, and he was the type who hid everythng well. No one found papers of any importance. We know he had lots of money though. Family was notified that his ex-wife who he divorced many many years ago, is looking to change the status on his death certificate from divorced to married. That tells us that she definitely found something somehow.

September 15, 2011 5:18 pm at 5:18 pm #809747popa_bar_abbaParticipantI am sure there are professionals who do this.
If you can’t find them, I will do it for a commission.
