[WSBAPT] Can't find dad & Heir Search Company

[Dalynne Singleton]

When I couldn't find a father, the court made it clear that doesn't give away his rightful inheritance.  The mother was hoping it would become hers...  I certainly didn't argue for that but she was adamant, especially because he was a "dead beat" dad who had never seen or contacted, let alone paid child support for the deceased child.  Didn't happen.  The court indicated it would be held and turned over to the State of WA for unclaimed funds if it came to that.

I especially appreciate Dan Peyovich when doing heir searches.  He is efficient and reasonable.  He found the dad and DSHS had a large child support lien for mom's behalf so things worked out a little better for the mom because she did get her back child support out of dad's inheritance...  I researched the whole DSHS child support lien so learned some along the way.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Heir Search Company

Dear Listmates:

I have an intestate probate and the decedent, has no spouse, no children, no siblings, father pre-deceased, and mother abandoned him and his father when he was an infant.  I hired a local investigation company to try to track down mom, and they had no luck.  Decedent has uncles and cousins on paternal side, but we have no idea if there are any heirs living on maternal side.  The cousin I am working with says family lore is that mom probably used a fictitious name on birth certificate.  We also have a marriage certificate for mom and dad that occurred when child was 5 years old (1960), the family story is that the parents married then immediately divorced (or annulled the marriage).  The marriage was only to arrange for legal custody of child in dad.  However, again the name may be fictitious, and there are no divorce records I can find in Washington.

Soooo, I'm thinking my next move is to hire a professional heir search company.  I've exhausted my internet search skills without any luck.  Does anyone know what the court will do if we are unable to locate mom, or any death or birth records for mom?  Also if anyone has a recommendation for a good heir search company please pass it along.  Thanks.
