Research / Family Tree Verification Service

Finders are often asked to check research or family tree information prior to an application for a Missing Beneficiary Indemnity Insurance Policy or distribution of an Estate.

We have found errors or omissions in around 50% of these cases, an alarming problem which could lead to indemnity insurance claims (assuming an insurer will agree to issue a policy) or even legal action being taken against the Estate Administrator.

Errors can occur for a number of reasons, including:

  • Reliance on a family member for information.
  • Reliance on internet based information sources, which have errors in transcription in about 10% of all records.
  • Using an inexperienced researcher or genealogist, perhaps with limited research resources at their disposal.


Service Details & Costs

Any family tree or research report submitted to us will be assessed free of charge.

Areas of risk, errors or omissions will be highlighted and, if further work is required, we will send you a no-obligation quotation.

We will report back to you within 24 hours. Please contact us if you need our assistance.
