The Republic then refers to this as &#8220;reversion.&#8221; In other countries, such as France, it is different: If no heirs emerge after a certain period of time, the case is referred to a genealogical office. This office searches for heirs worldwide. In Austria, genealogists are thwarting the tax authorities&#8217; plans on their own. A historian&#8217;s office in Vienna, for example, specializes in the search for heirs. There is also an office in Tyrol. If the researchers find them, they receive a commission (a percentage of the inheritance). An example from Tyrol, explains genealogist Nicolas Forster, is this: Someone died in Tyrol and left &#8220;only&#8221; a legacy. Several hundred thousand euros were left to no one in their will. There were no children, no siblings, no relatives. The mother had a brother who emigrated to the &#8220;Old Tyrolean&#8221; settlement of Dreizehnlinden in Brazil. But he, too, was dead. There was no contact with the &#8220;old homeland&#8221; on either side. With extensive research, cousins \u200b\u200bwere found in Brazil.
