Probate Genealogy in Northern Ireland
I have been providing a probate genealogy service to firms in Australia, Canada and America for many years and have been asked to appear in a New York court, via video link, in a case where the deceased had County Antrim roots.
Even with seemingly little information to go on, as the N Ireland agent for a leading firm on BBC’s Heir Hunters, I have the experience and expertise to help you
- locate known beneficiaries
- identify and locate unknown beneficiaries in intestacies
- verify family trees provided by claimants
- demonstrate due diligence in identifying all possible heirs to an estate
- find people with entitlement to dormant bank accounts and pension schemes
I can provide clear and precise family trees and comprehensive final reports to support my findings, and in the event of not finding a beneficiary, these reports can be used to obtain insurance against future claims.
‘Gosh, that’s lots of information, thank you for this and for such a professional and prompt service’. KB/Cleaver Fulton Rankin, Belfast.
‘We are very much obliged by your efforts in this matter and for the speed and efficiency of extracting this information’’. KB/Doherty Brennan, Coleraine.
