Our team of probate genealogists have the record access and necessary skills to build the family tree of a deceased relative and then trace the living descendants who may ultimately inherit from an estate. This forensic probate research often requires knowledge of late 1800s and early 1900s record sources for various parts of the United States (USA) and other countries, as well as “people finding” skills to find and locate potential heirs.

Whether you are an attorney representing a potential heir, a personal representative of an estate, a real estate or property investor, or are involved in other legal proceedings in which identifying kinship is necessary, our team of forensic genealogists can help!
