Missing Beneficiary Insurance if required
When trying to prove entitlement in case of intestacy the only evidence you might have is a family tree constructed by a relative or friend of the deceased. How do you know if the information is accurate? Has the family tree been fully sourced with documentary evidence? Do you know where all the living relatives are based?
If a family tree is the only evidence you have then you need to contact us, we can begin work straight away on checking your family tree and where there is some doubt or where evidence is not proven and gaps are identified then we can reconstruct the family tree for you.
There is a legal obligation to ensure that all entitled beneficiaries receive their share of an estate. You might also want to consider Missing Beneficiary Insurance in which case a full genealogical report and family tree will be required by the insurers. We can prepare this for submission to an specialist insurer for you.
We can conduct searches in insolvency registers in the UK, Europe and many parts of the world. Different countries have different methods of keeping these records, though most searches are straightforward enough in certain cases the search can take some time to return a result.
The Law Society gives advice that personal representatives of a deceased's estate should make a search in the insolvency registers against a beneficiary's name prior to distributing an estate.
