We are frequently instructed to verify family tree research before assets or funds are distributed to the assumed next of kin. This forms an essential part of an estate practitioner’s due diligence and plays a critical role in risk management—helping to prevent incorrect distributions and protect all parties involved.
We regularly encounter cases where solicitors have been provided with incomplete, inaccurate or outdated family information. Our research has prevented an incorrect distribution of estate assets and safeguarded clients from reputational damage and future claims.
Our verification of the family tree is a requirement before an application for a Missing Beneficiary Indemnity Insurance policy or a Bond of Caution from AVIVA prior to the distribution of an Estate.
All of our quotes are prepared free of charge and will highlight areas of risk or possible omissions along with our suggestions on how to remedy these problems.
