How can you benefit from the Heir Law Forum?
The Heir Law Forum offers a home for articles and discussions on the subjects faced by probate professionals. For instance, our website includes examples of draft legislation designed to address the threat posed by heir hunting firms. We offer forums for you to discuss issues of concern to you, such as the accountability of heir hunters, the frustrations of racing heir hunters to find heirs when acting as a public administrator, and the ways that rushed searches by heir hunters can lead to inaccurate results. You can also suggest your own topics for discussion if you’ve encountered a new and unusual challenge or potential solution for which you’d like input. We additionally have several case studies on the forum that are both informative as to how a forensic genealogist can transform a search for heirs, as well as being compelling stories of deceit and, ultimately, justice being served. Join us to offer your unique perspective on your work as a probate professional as you also learn from others in the field.
