WHY HEIRSEARCH
Our Approach
At HeirSearch, our goal throughout the search process is always to meet and exceed your expectations. To us, that means reasonable, upfront costs, regular communication, and prompt alerts should we encounter a delay.
A BETTER WAY
Our Promise
Solution-Oriented Approach
We address all potential roadblocks, like unverified information or sealed adoption records, at the beginning of every search, and continue to update you throughout the process.
Fully Insured Searches
For the protection of all concerned parties, we maintain corporate insurance coverage for errors, omissions ($2,000,000) and / or general liability ($5,000,000).
Reasonable Fees
Our fees are reasonable and non-percentage based. Quotes are always based on an Account Manager’s careful recommendations, tailored to your heir search requirements – never on the size of the trust or estate.

Our resources include in-house, commercial, and public digital and physical databases, as well as extensive library and archival records. We also maintain established connections and relationships around the world to support our search efforts.
Comprehensive Analysis

Cost Certainty and Transparent Time Management
We do not exceed our initial authorized number of hours without your approval. Should additional hours be required to complete your search, we will advise you in advance and obtain approval prior to proceeding.
