Relative $ucce$$: a Comedy of Heirs Mr Gerald E Daugherty

Publisher Marketing: The little known industry of "Heir Finding" is opened, examined and explored. It is subjected to the general public's scrutiny for the first time. The book contains the author's most interesting, challenging and rewarding cases from over 22 years of operating a private investigative agency specializing in determining, locating and assisting the legal heirs to the Estates of deceased persons. It details the secrets of success and exposes the many abuses and the obstacles encountered when dealing with the bureaucratic custodial agencies holding the funds of the deceased that are legally owed to their heirs. This book also documents many of the administrative agencies security shortcomings, personnel issues and even their inability to fully comply with some of the laws governing their actions and responsibilities. These same agencies are "Custodians" of billions of dollars in an era of tax revenue shortfalls and are laboring under a true conflict of interest! The state legislatures are now "raiding" trust funds such as those held in the names of deceased owners. The Unclaimed Property program has become a replica of the social security program. The result? They are now operating in the same fashion as a Ponzi scheme.
