Are you a legal team looking to trace a missing beneficiary?
Many legal firms use the services of professional genealogists to track missing beneficiaries. It can be a time consuming and frustrating activity to add to an already overwhelming workload for lawyers and their teams.
If the person taking on the bulk of the research isn’t experienced in the intricacies of historical research and genealogy, it can often be a fruitless venture – with dead ends or inconclusive results leading to more time (and money) being wasted.
Hiring a genealogist for legal research
If you’d like professional genealogy support for your legal case then you’re in the right place.
I’ve worked with Scottish legal teams, supporting them with historical and family research to track down the families of their deceased clients.
It’s an important task, a service I take incredibly seriously, and am proud of the results I find.
When you might need a professional genealogist for your legal work
People who don’t write wills usually have no idea how hard it can be for the intended beneficiaries of their estate to receive what is rightfully theirs.
It can lead to a lot of confusion and emotional strain on remaining family members (if there are any), or leave cases wide open for abuse of the system.
Many legal firms are hired by family members who need help locating the rightful beneficiary to a deceased relative’s estate.
At other times, families are seeking evidence to prove they are the rightful beneficiaries, or there is a legal obligation for a deceased person’s legal representative to search for a beneficiary where none have been named.
This is when a professional genealogist steps in.
