We are Title Research, a professional research organisation employed by solicitors and other professionals involved in the administration of estates needing to find beneficiaries. Our services are endorsed as best practice by The Law Society of England and Wales – the organisation responsible for regulating solicitors.

If you are one of the deceased’s personal representatives, you may be personally liable to the true beneficiaries in the event of an incorrect distribution of the estate. It is therefore essential to take reasonable steps to find all the entitled people.

For further information about what you can and should do to verify the identity of beneficiaries, we have produced a brochure “Notes for Personal Representatives”. Ask your solicitor for a copy, or call us on freephone 0800 028 7028 (+44 207 549 0900 from outside the UK) to request a copy.
