Missing Heir Hunters
« on: Friday 23 August 24 11:51 BST (UK) »
Many of you may have watched Heir Hunters over the years and know that filming ceased in 2016. Since then, we've seen numerous repeats, and several production companies have attempted to revive the program, though with limited success.

Now, there are new programs that, while not identical to the original, offer a fresh take by focusing more on the human stories rather than the financial aspects. These programs are produced by ProbateTV and filmed exclusively at Fraser and Fraser, the only firm to have appeared in all 12 series of Heir Hunters. You can watch them here: https://www.youtube.com/@ProbateTV

Full disclosure: I am Neil Fraser, a partner at Fraser and Fraser.

Hi
Can I say Neil, you seem to do an excellent job. It's nice to know you and the term aren't robots and can do the job with a sense of humor but also as professionals.
I had many a happy hour with the old program..

Looking forward to more

I don't usually watch daytime TV so I forgot to watch a lot of the old Heir Hunters. I've always wished it was on early evening, it would be ideal for that. I shall enjoy seeing these on YT, cheers Neil.
