When a person dies and
leaves a will
We identify and locate other eligible heirs
if a beneficiary dies before settlement of an estate.
We locate heirs when all legacies have
lapsed or when a testator has not disposed of all his or her property by
will.
We assist trustees in locating and
substantiating trust beneficiaries.
When a person dies without
leaving a will
We identify and locate the closest living
relatives in cases in which heirs are unknown to the estate.

We ascertain heirs more closely related to the deceased than
the known claimants, or trace additional branches of the decedent's family.
When proof of heirship is
inadequate or ambiguous
We secure legal proof of relationship in
jurisdictions throughout the
United States and other countries to document claims of heirs to estates.
We verify family histories or alleged proof
of heirship when relationships appear doubtful, or additional evidence/proof
is required by the court or administrator.
