Private Client Services What is a Administrator & Executor Search?
When someone dies, and there is no apparent next of kin, you may be faced with the possibility of having to write off your time and costs.
The Bona Vacantia, KLTR (King’s & Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer) or the Crown Solicitor of Northern Ireland are not obliged to refund your fees, but there is an opportunity to continue with your estate administration if a potential Administrator or Executor-Dative can be found.
This situation may arise when a client of yours passes away or as an enquiry from a member of the public when a friend or neighbour has died with no apparent living next of kin.
Free Administrator Search Service
You could be considering referring the case to the Bona Vacantia division or National Ultimus Haeres Unit/KLTR, but by using our free service we will help resolve this issue one way or another.
In the unlikely event that the family has died out completely, then the Bona Vacantia division or National Ultimus Haeres Unit should be notified, and we will help with this process, again at no cost to you.
We often identify and locate surviving kin in such situations at no cost to your firm and extremely quickly. We can then introduce the next of kin to act as your firm so that instructions can be obtained, and the Estate administration can progress.
We have referred numerous Intestacy cases back to solicitors who contact us in this way.
This course of action not only ensures you do not miss out on generating income or recovering your fees, but also provides a free and speedy solution to the problem of a Deceased allegedly having no next of kin.
