Our Missing Will Service is free of charge if we are also asked by your firm to find missing / unknown heirs or missing beneficiaries on a Contingency fee basis. Otherwise, the cost is £200 + VAT + advertisement fees (recharged at cost). Terms & Conditions apply.

Notes

  • Timescale - after placement of advertisement and other research has commenced we must allow 28 days for a response. All other searches will also be completed within 28 days of order.
  • Advertisement Fees - we always place an advertisement in the Law Society Gazette (Wills & Whereabouts section) at a current minimum charge of £199.50 + VAT (correct as at October 2007). Usually this is the only advertisement needed. Other advertisements may be placed according to the circumstances of the case, but we will confirm any further advertising requirements with you before proceeding.
  • No advance payment - Invoice sent with our report (payable within 28 days)
  • Our competitor's 'Will Search' service costs a minimum of £300 + VAT + advertisement costs + disbursements - a total expected cost of £650 !
  • Once these searches are completed there is an increased likelihood of indemnity insurance being agreed to by an insurance company. Finders can arrange suitable indemnity insurance for you, if required.
