Concerning the requirement of the conclusion of a fee agreement between the heir finder and the heir
„Who is busy with commercial finding of unknown heirs, has no charges of remuneration out of a management without assignment or unjustified immoral enrichment towards the heirs. The heir finder can only claim a remuneration, when he concludes a fee agreement with the heir. Therefore, heir finder companies are required by law "to sell" their research results to the entitled heirs on the basis of a concluded agreement.“
Concerning the amount of the accepted remuneration
„The court follows the jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Justice (of Germany) and the district courts one, after which a net fee for heir finding activities up to 30% of the inheritance is economically appropriated.“
„As a point of reference for the reasonable level of remuneration of an heir finder can be used a conventionality upon that a fee up to 30% of the inheritance can be agreed.“

„Concerning the effectiveness of a fee agreement between a heir finder and a heir at a rate of 25% of the inheritance plus VAT.“
„The agreement between a heir finder and found by him unknown heir at a rate of 30% of the inheritance plus VAT is effective.“
