Historical Case - Estate Research

Many authorities have cases that they have had for years that they cannot refer to the GLD as they cannot be satisfied that there is no next of kin.

Upon instruction, we will undertake immediate searches and seek to provide you with a solution to clear away these long term problem files.

Scenarios you may encounter

We were asked by a council to locate a sister to a gentleman who had died over 10 years ago. The council could not locate the sister when the deceased passed away but GLD refused to take the case. The case had sat unclaimed since then. We were asked to look at it and we located the sister within 48 hours, she was now resident in a different country. She was unaware that her brother had died as they had lost contact many years before. We proved her claim and she appointed solicitors to administer the estate.
The authority had contact details for a relative who had recently moved. Unfortunately the councils attempt to find his new address failed and they had to continue with their arrangements. There was a small estate left after the funeral costs but the GLD refused to take the case. The matter was referred to us and we located the cousin in 5 minutes n he had moved 40 miles away.
