Heir Location Services Cartel Tracker (2015–21)

Summary

This tracker provides a summary chart of the Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal antitrust enforcement in the heir location services industry. Providers of heir location services identify heirs to estates of intestate decedents in exchange for a contingency fee, develop evidence, and prove-up heirs' claims to an inheritance in probate court. This tracker is closed, as the government's investigation into this cartel appears to have come to an end. This tracker is archived and no longer regularly updated.
