[restrict] A man in his 70’s died in social housing.
Only Post Office account and DWP letter with NI number found.
Referred to Finders to trace family – Cash in PO account covered funeral costs.
Despite a thorough search and trying different variations of name of deceased on this occasion Finders were unable to find any birth or adoption record of the deceased – therefore making tracing any next of kin impossible.
Benefit/Outcome – Had there not been any money in estate could have applied to Finders for their Funeral Fund.[/restrict]
