Heir tracing
A missing heir stops the inheritance process. We identify and locate heirs and give your lawyer's file orderly information.
How does the process work?
We research the deceased's family ties, identify legal heirs and try to find each one's current contact details. Official documents such as a certificate of inheritance are obtained through your lawyer and the relevant institutions; we provide preparation and field support.
