Finding Estates (locating heirs or relatives)
There are a few properties I'm interested in, but the owners appear to be deceased, and no one is living in the property.
Someone is also paying the taxes and the address listed with the city is the same as the house. (no other address listed)
Since someone is still paying taxes, the city doesn't care or seem to notice that the owner is deceased, so property still in name of deceased.
The city also says that if they haven't died in the city, they won't have any more information.
Is there anther way of locating the deceased or their heirs? I have been to the register of wills, searched tax records, and city death certificates.
Thanks for any help!
