At Title Research, we specialise in probate genealogy and the administration of international assets. We take instructions from our professional clients to assist them with administering their estate, ensuring they can confidently distribute their inheritance to beneficiaries.
We focus on best practice, risk mitigation, and maximising estate values for the beneficiaries.
Our specialist team of genealogists can assist in locating missing or unknown people by using multiple approaches and research techniques. We have access to a variety of different records and databases, including:
Electoral roll data – both current and historic
Birth, marriage, and death records
Consumer databases
Credit reference databases
Other genealogical datasets
In many cases, we can trace missing beneficiaries from minimal information. If you can provide us with the first name, last name, and any previous address of the individual, we can usually begin our research. The search will typically be easier if you also know the missing person’s date of birth. Even without this information, we can normally offer a solution.
