One of my dad's first cousins died about 2 years ago a left a 'substantial' estate. A lawyer was tasked with finding heirs since she had no kids and no known relatives. So he contacted one of my second cousins a couple years ago as part of his search. At that time, the lawyer said that if no other first cousins were still alive, then the estate would be split between all her cousin's kids (of which I am one). But they found three other first cousins- all late 80's/early 90s'- (one of whom just died two weeks ago)- and they split it three ways.

Still not sure how much is was, but apparently pretty huge. The estate lawyer's first overture to my cousin was to tell him NOT to sign with a law firm from Salt Lake City who apparently was trying to track down heirs and act on their behalf. Had to be megabucks for someone to start bird dogging it like that. No idea where they got the money. Their house was an ordinary suburban house in Springfield. And her husband died in 2010 at the age of 90 while shoveling snow. So it seems like they didn't like to spend money either.

Also did I mention this is my father's mother's side. She died in 1941. I have never ever met anyone on that side of the family. I found one of my second cousins on ancestry dot com and her brother sent me a friend request. So he just contacted me via FB and I called him and he told me the whole story. He's sending me the 20 page genealogy report that the estate lawyer put together.
