Since 1967, we’ve specialized in providing forensic genealogy services to the legal and trust professions.
Forensic genealogy is an analytical research method used to establish kinship for legal purposes. HeirSearch™ experts conduct thorough and unbiased research, complete with court-ready reporting and expert testimony.
At HeirSearch, we hold ourselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. We Find Missing Heirs A Better Way®.
Our fees are quoted in advance and determined by a set fee schedule based on the type of search and your requirements – never as a percentage of the trust or estate.
Significant windfall rewards are available for heir hunters, who frequently start unauthorized searches without client consent or contractual arrangement. Our reasonable fees are always quoted in advance, and we never initiate an independent search. Our experience has shown that courts look more favourably on agreements with heir search firms when the cost of the search is known in advance.
A combination of specialized education, training and experience makes our research experts highly qualified to find missing heirs and beneficiaries. Since 1967, this knowledge and expertise has resulted in an average success rate of 97%.
Our final report provides clear and convincing evidence, suitable for an exhibit in court proceedings. We include all available supporting documentation in a concise, easy-to-read format.
HeirSearch has successfully located tens of thousands of missing heirs and lost beneficiaries in more than 65 countries. Regardless of the location of the missing heirs or amount of information available on them, our in-house knowledge and international expertise means we succeed where other search firms often fail.
We use our professional expertise to identify, locate, prove and report known and unknown heirs or beneficiaries, both domestically and internationally.
We help clients fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities in providing notice to heirs by supplying current contact information (or the results of our due diligence search efforts) in order to provide notice of estate or trust matters.
We identify, locate, prove and report heirs or beneficiaries on matters related to Clear and Quiet Title Actions and Property Ownership.
I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of the HeirSearch team for their excellent, efficient, professional service to detail and communication skills. I will not hesitate to recommend and/or contact HeirSearch for any future project. With greatest appreciation…
