Intestacy, unregistered property, heir hunters

This link takes you to an advertorial that involves a case as complicated as a mediaeval mousetrap. http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/reading/articles/2012/02/12/57131-squatter-scandalFor me, it highlights the importance of writing a Will and of appointing Executors who you can trust to fulfil their responsibilities. Not exactly ground breaking news, just a regular gripe among empty home practitioners. And we are writing about it regularly these days. There must be something out there to help us with protracted Probate cases. In the same way that the value of s103 Law of Property Act to empty homes officers was discovered 70 years after the Act was enacted, so too there must be a nifty little "Probate Lever" out there waiting to be discovered.
