\n\n\t \n Why did I receive mail from the ``Erbenermittler Berlin``? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]We have started investigations in a probate matter and have identified you as a possible person entitled to inherit. For this reason, we have sent you an agreement and a power of attorney. Your status as heir can only be determined by the probate court following the investigations in inheritance certificate proceedings.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Who can provide me with information about the ``Erbenermittler Berlin``? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Inquiry at the trade or regulatory office at the place of residence of the respective colleague. However, this information is usually subject to a charge. There is no entitlement to information.<\/p>\n

You can also contact the police station responsible for you. Your police department will contact the police at the place of residence of the respective colleague. This way you can make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Why are we only now investigating cases where the decedent has been deceased for many years? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Often, the responsible probate court or the responsible guardian of the estate has started investigations that have been unsuccessful. Sometimes the investigations are so complicated that they can only be brought to a conclusion by experts. For this reason, we were then commissioned to take over the investigations.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Can I inherit debts? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]We invest a lot of time and money in our research. Therefore, before we start our research, we make sure that the estate is a positive one. We also find out about the composition of the inheritance (bank deposits or tangible assets).<\/p>\n

It is in our own interest to determine only in the case of estates that are of value. Otherwise, we would participate in the debt on a percentage basis in accordance with the contract.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Why am I not being given information about the decedent and the relevant probate court? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]In this way, we want to ensure that our work is rewarded.<\/p>\n

We receive our fee only if we enter into a fee agreement with the identified heirs. We receive our fee at the time of the distribution of the estate. If our investigation is unsuccessful, our work was in vain.[\/vc_column_text] <\/div>\n<\/div>

\n\n\t \n Why is the investigation taking so long? <\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\n
\n [vc_column_text]Many factors play a role here:<\/p>\n
