1.  Why have you contacted me? 

 

We believe you may be a relative of someone who passed away without leaving a will, potentially entitling you to their estate.

 

2. What is genealogy research?

 

Genealogy research involves identifying and locating heirs of estates when someone dies without a will, using various historical records to establish family connections.

 

3. How did you find my contact details? 

 

We use publicly accessible records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates, electoral rolls, and other historical documents to trace family members.​

 

4. Is there a cost involved in claiming an inheritance?

 

We never charge upfront fees. All our costs are charged to the estate, and we only get paid after you do. This ensures that we are motivated to complete our work quickly and effectively, always with your best interests in mind.

​​

5. How long does the probate process take?

 

The length varies depending on the estate's complexity and document availability. It can range from a few months to over a year. We keep you informed throughout the process.

 

6. What documents might I need to provide?

 

You may need to provide identification documents like birth certificates, passports, and family records that confirm your connection to the deceased.

 

7. How do you determine who the rightful heirs are? 

 

We use genealogical research and historical records to trace family trees and verify relationships, ensuring rightful heirs are identified.

 

8. What is an intestate estate?

 

An intestate estate is the property and assets of a person who died without a valid will. The distribution is governed by intestacy laws, which we help navigate.

 

9. Are there any risks involved in the probate process?

​

The probate process can involve legal and financial complexities. We pass all cases onto our trusted probate solicitor who will deal with all potential issues.

​

10. How will I receive my inheritance?

 

Inheritance is typically distributed after the estate is settled, either through direct bank transfer or a check, depending on legal requirements and your preference.

 

11. What is the role of an executor?

 

An executor manages the deceased's estate, including paying debts and distributing assets to heirs. If no will exists, a court-appointed administrator fulfils this role.

 

12. What if there are multiple heirs?

 

The estate is divided according to relationship to the deceased. We ensure all rightful heirs are identified and receive their fair share.

 

13. How do you handle international cases?

 

We collaborate with global partners and use international records to trace heirs and manage estates across jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with local laws.

 

14. How can I be sure this is not a scam?
