Are you saying it's easier just to let them do it for us, I'm quite happy to really as if they hadn't contacted ur we'd be no wiser it was just something somebody else said might be worth doing0

I'm guessing that your aunt died intestate (without leaving a will) and the the estate is of a high enough value to interest an heir hunters company.
She must have died without a spouse, children, parents or siblings for inheritance rights to fall to you (and any other blood nieces/nephews she may have had)>
If you know where your aunt lived, and if you know how to contact other family members, then there is no reason why you can't apply for probate yourselves and save the 30%+ fee that Hoopers would pocket.0 -
