For more than 150 years, companies called “heir hunters” have operated in the shadows of the court system. Heir hunters monitor probate filings to identify intestate decedents who have missing or unknown relatives. They then perform genealogical research, locate the decedent's kin, and offer to inform them about their inheritance rights in exchange for a share of the property. States are sharply divided about whether to enforce contracts between heir hunters and heirs. This discord stems from the fact that we know virtually nothing about heir hunting. This Article illuminates this mysterious corner of succession law by reporting the results of the first empirical study of heir hunting. Its centerpiece is a hand-collected dataset of 1,349 recent probate matters from San Francisco County, California. Because a unique disclosure norm in California effectively requires heir hunters to file their contracts in the record, the Article is able to analyze a rainbow of issues that would normally be private, such as the scope of the industry, how heir hunters operate, and the context, content, and timing of their agreements. The Article reaches three main conclusions. First, heir hunting is a booming business. Indeed, the Article unearths 219 agreements between heir hunters and heirs from twenty-seven American states and eleven foreign countries. Second, heir hunting can be socially valuable. Heir hunters sometimes locate long-lost relatives after everyone else has failed. Third, heir hunting is also problematic. For one, the Article's multivariate regression analysis reveals that cases with heir hunters are especially likely to devolve into litigation. In addition, heir hunters usually pay for the heir's attorney, thus creating a stark conflict of interest. Finally, heir hunters charge exorbitant fees and routinely contact heirs before the administrator has even tried to locate them. Using these insights, the Article critiques existing approaches to heir hunting and suggests reforms that would enable the legal system to harness the practice's benefits while limiting its costs.

He's young. He's ambitious. He's got less than a week to find the heirs to a $22 million estate. Now everyone he sees is trying to kill him. Welcome to the world of Nick Merchant, heir hunter. Nick Merchant is in the business of finding heirs. As payment, the San Francisco-based private investigator gets a percentage of the estate. So when Gerald Jacobs is found dead in a creaky old house in upstate New York, Nick thinks he's about to score the payday of a lifetime. Unfortunately, he's got some pretty stiff competition. Working with his partner -- and former girlfriend -- Alex Moreno, Nick races against the clock, narrowly eluding his rivals, dodging bullets, and unearthing a history a lot of people would rather keep buried. Moving from San Francisco to New York, from Switzerland to Washington, D.C. -- and dozens of points in between -- they struggle to uncover the guilty secret behind a rich man's fortune. But as Nick and Alex close in on the truth, they are about to find out just how deadly this game can get....

This characte was inspired by reading those great adventures written by Richard S. Prather, John D. MacDonald & Robert B. Parker whose characters - Shell Scott, Travis McGee and Spenser, respectively - will bring some pleasure to those who miss them. Jordan "Lucky" Chance has a Don Quixote attitude to go with his hard edged personality and cynical view of the world. Private Investigator, Jordan "Lucky" Chance, is doing his thing. He is working a case that takes him from the comfort of his tropical confines on Florida's Gulf Coast to the Pacific NW and Montana where he grew up. But, the way this case twists and turns this might be where he ends up being buried. Maybe "Lucky" isn't so lucky after all.
