            Myself and siblings were contacted by this company in Feb of 2014, we followed all the instructions and returned the needed information to receive the money from ours brothers estate being held by the Herico court in Va. I have called on several dates and was told they were working on it. On Nov ******************************************** was told the money was released that had all the qualifying information in 2013!!! I called several more times and the last information I received was they were going to have a meeting on on Nov 21,2016, then told another meeting was scheduled to Feb,7 2018. I have called several times only to go directly to voicemail. Nobody has contacted my remaining siblings or myself. What has happened to the money that the court said has been released years ago. I have no other choice but to think someone has illegally taken our money. Please help

            I had a complicated work project that required finding beneficiaries of a Trust who were located in Germany, Canada, and the United States. Our office had not had contact with any of these individuals since the late 1980s. This was a project that my colleagues had been dreading for many years. I got in touch with American Global Heir Search and was assigned to work with Claire. It has been nothing short of a fantastic experience. Claire and her colleague Mary were communicative, professional, and very efficient. We are nearing the end of this project and I am now a hero in the office for bringing this matter to such a successful conclusion. I could not recommend Claire, Mary, and their colleagues at American Global Heir Search highly enough. I would eagerly work with A.G.H.S. again in the future should the need arise.

            Thank you for your kind words about our work.

            We are so pleased that American Global Heir Search could assist in successfully locating the rightful beneficiaries of the Trust. We would welcome the opportunity to work with you and your firm again in the future.
