Public Sector ServicesFamily tree verification to mitigate risk
Our service verifies the family tree prior to assets or funds being distributed to assumed next of kin. This is a vital step to mitigate the risk of an incorrect distribution, and demonstrates best practice.
Errors can occur due to:
Reliance on a single family member for information.
This can lead to a narrow or biased understanding of the situation, as the perspectives of other family members may be overlooked or excluded, potentially affecting the accuracy and fairness of decisions or assessments.
Family secrets and mistaken testimony from family members.
These can lead to misinformation and hinder a clear understanding of the situation.
Using an inexperienced researcher or genealogist, perhaps with limited research resources at their disposal.
This can result in incomplete, inaccurate, or poorly verified information, which may affect the credibility and reliability of the findings.
Reliance on internet-based information sources, which are estimated to have errors in transcription in about 10% of all records.
Depending heavily on these sources can lead to inaccurate conclusions, as transcription mistakes may distort key details like names, dates, or relationships.
