When the weekly list of unclaimed estates is published, probate researchers brother and sister team Dan and Rachel began work.

They're searching backwards through the family line to try to locate the true heir and get a slice of the fortune.

Susan was a significant artist in the US in the 1960's, her most famous paintings known as High Green Walls were destroyed but Dan and Rachel guess her estate might still be worth a substantial amount.
