Everything You Need to Know

We locate missing or unknown beneficiaries and compile accurate family trees on behalf of solicitors and private individuals. Work is conducted to a high standard using specialist investigative techniques, professional databases, and — where necessary — field enquiries. All research is handled with the utmost discretion.
We act for solicitors, law firms, and private individuals alike. Whether you are administering an estate and need to establish the full beneficiary class, or you are a private client seeking to trace family connections for personal or legal reasons, we can assist. We are experienced in working within legal timescales and professional requirements.
Timescales depend on the complexity of the family history and the information available at the outset. Simpler cases can be resolved relatively quickly, while more intricate family trees or cases involving missing individuals may require more thorough investigation. We will provide you with an honest assessment at the start of your enquiry and keep you updated throughout.
Yes. Our reports are compiled to a professional standard and are suitable for use in probate applications, legal proceedings, and estate administration. We understand the evidential requirements of the legal process and produce documentation accordingly.
Simply contact us by phone or email to discuss your case in confidence. There is no obligation, and our principal investigator will personally review your enquiry and advise on the most appropriate course of action and associated costs.
