Founded in 2001, Estate Research now has over 50 full time staff spread across two offices in Wigan and London. With national expertise and international reach we are able to locate families all over the world. Over the years our services have continued to grow and evolve so that today, Estate Research can assist with almost every aspect of estate administration. Our aim is to deliver comprehensive research on time and through our commitment to quality and accountability, we hope to provide a service that practitioners will use, and crucially, use again. Estate Research is a firm of International Probate Genealogists who specialise in tracing next of kin, as well as locating missing beneficiaries and assets to estates. Our reputation has been built on our professionalism and our policy of transparency of informing beneficiaries of all the known details as a standard practice. This underpins all our workings with beneficiaries and our clients. Probate genealogy or ‘heir hunting’ is an unregulated industry and it is up to each individual company to implement their own standards and procedures. At Estate Research we take quality of service very seriously, but we only invest our time in getting the correct accreditations including our ISO 27001 and ISO 9001.
