<span style="font-size:14.0pt; font-family:"Verdana Pro"; color:windowtext">Diane: I would agree these steps should be taken IF these heirs were to receive any distribution from the estate. The notice in Andrew’s case is to then tell these heirs, once they
are found, glad we found you but you get nothing. This does not seem reasonable to me or what would be expected… Wouldn’t that make a difference? Unless the charities are an alternate beneficiary if none is found, but email does not imply that.

practitioners practice to advise their clients to take certain steps to do this, check mail, we have hired heir search before (and found a missing homeless heir by them), asked the PR about any history of family known to exist (even if just by name) etc.</span></p>
