The heir hunters' investigation into the estate of a much-loved character reveals a sorry tale of good intentions gone horribly wrong, and Hoopers uncover a family secret.

Charlotte Walker was a much-loved character in her local village, and achieved the milestone of 101 before she passed away.  She was surrounded by close family and friends and had already decided who would inherit her 150,000 pound fortune. But fate stepped in, and the heir hunters' investigation reveals a sorry tale of good intentions gone horribly wrong.

When heir hunting company Hoopers looked into the case of Cyril Curtis, a reclusive bachelor who passed away in Great Yarmouth, they never dreamed they would be uncovering a family secret that had lain hidden for nearly 60 years. Their discovery brought two sisters together for the first time - but it also raised many questions the sisters are still struggling to answer.
