The decedent (in her sixties when she died) had no spouse, no descendants, no siblings (living or deceased) and thus no nieces or nephews, and no living ancestors. Her father had at least four siblings (one living) and her mother had at least seven siblings (one may still be living). We have bits and pieces of information regarding a few of the living and deceased descendants of the decedent’s aunts and uncles, but not much. We are still looking under rocks for clues.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>To what professional search firm do we turn?

At that time, upon learning about her family situation, I warned her (more than once over those months) that it was going to be a chocolate mess when she died if she didn’t have her estate planning matters in order, starting with a Will. She agreed and assured me that she would get to it. After we closed her father’s estate, I never heard from her again. It was a coincidence that her estate landed in my office after her recent death.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">As ever,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Dan<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Daniel J.
