BBC One - Heir Hunters, Series 4, Hollins/Ashby

The heir hunters try to track down any living relatives of Peter Hollins, who died in 2009

Peter Hollins liked to keep himself to himself before he died aged 70 in 2009. As he hadn't left a will, it is down to the heir hunters to track down any living relatives.

Reclusive Peter Hollins liked to keep himself to himself. He died at home alone aged 70 years old in 2009. As he hadn't left a will, it is down to the heir hunters to track down any living blood relatives - but with no birth certificate to be found, where do they start?  All eyes fall on ex-copper and travelling heir hunter David Hadley to see if he'll be able to uncover the vital information they need from his investigation on the road.

Meanwhile Fraser and Frasers have also been contacted by the neighbours of a derelict house which is causing them grief. The team discover that the last resident at the address was an ex-Army major, John Ashby, who passed away in April 2007 leaving behind him an unclaimed estate worth an estimated half a million pounds. With this figure at stake, the hunt is on for beneficiaries which in turn may help the street return back to normal and give the neighbours the peace and quiet they're yearning for.
