Heir search services

Find All Heirs. Prove Every Claim. Distribute Fairly.

When an estate needs settling, everyone who’s owed something should be found. We help law firms, corporations, and families locate missing heirs, verify heirship, and ensure rightful beneficiaries receive what they deserve.

What We Do

Locate Missing & Estranged Heirs
Whether heirs are simply out of touch or hard to find—domestically or globally—we track them down for probate, estate administration, or trust termination.
Trust Termination & Beneficiary Verification
When trusts must be closed, it’s vital to identify every eligible beneficiary. We verify relationships, analyze legal documents, and validate claims to ensure fair distribution.
Comprehensive Genealogy & Heir Documentation
Build out family trees, verify lineage, and gather crucial records (birth, death, marriage, etc.). When parties are unknown—or existing research is incomplete—we fill in the gaps with rigorous, legally-sound methods.
Expert Witness Support in Legal Proceedings
If heirship enters the courtroom, we provide clear, well-documented research and professional testimony to help your case succeed.

How Our Process Works

Zero Upfront Costs
We conduct the heir search with no payments required from you until the estate is successfully distributed.
Contingent Fee
You only pay when beneficiaries are located and the distribution is complete—no hidden fees or surprises.
Transparent Updates
Stay informed every step of the way. Regular reports on where things stand and what’s next.
Full Documentation
We assemble and deliver all evidence needed—records and genealogies—to demonstrate proof of heirship.
