The problem I am trying to solve here is identifying the best way to track down next of kin.  I

@Masa MoromisatoA few thoughts1) Make sure you are working with a mainland bank.

This was a limited test run to owners with delinquent taxes and and one property that was willed to next of kin.  I

@Polina Kin. I

In many areas the name of the informing party who is often the next of kin is also listed on the death certificate.

This can be beneficial when the next of kin is out of state. 

You guys crack me up.Harrison, we could both use X-mas a little early, eh?

Living in the rust belt there is more of a demand of people looking to rent so it is fairly easy to find people, but I am a little bit more thorough with background checks so I may sit on a property for a month and wait for decent prospects.That being said my scenario (A): I just bought a house that was up to sell quick because the previous owner is elderly with dementia without  any kin. I

On the D.C. it has to show who the next of kin is or the person of notification upon death.

They had found his body by some railroad tracks and were trying to notify next of kin.  I
