Finders approach across a wealth of stories about missing heirs, strange circumstances, causes of death, bizarre and estranged families, but it is not often the estate assets are found, literally, under the Deceased's mattress.
In a recent case, we were asked to trace the next of kin of an elderly recluse named Joseph Brown. Enquiries with neighbours discovered a few information about his individual habits and his common mistrust of all corporate and government bodies.
Mr. Brown owned his unpretentious home in Ruislip and this was due to be sold as part of the usual estate administration process. Finders property service delegate went to the property to organize the house authorization and after a extensive inventory was prepared; they reached the stage of removing furniture. That is when the mattress was lifted to disclose seven disheveled looking brown A4 envelopes, each containing £5,000 in cash!
"This is amazing, we often remark about" said Daniel Curran, Finders MD "but in this case it turned out to be true!".
Asset searches are completed by our firm; as another part of the finalizing of the estate through the common channels and; we often find undiscovered pension funds or bank accounts - in future we will be turning over mattresses too!
