Estate Research have been tracing next of kin for local authorities, NHS trust and coroners for over 20 years

Estate Research have been working in partnership with public sector bodies including local authorities, NHS trusts and coroners for over 20 years.

What started off as a simple next of kin tracing service has evolved to our current position where we can now offer a solution for every problem you may encounter when a person passes away.

Our policy of transparency in our dealings with family and public sector bodies underpins everything we do and helps us build trusting relationships with our clients, leading them to not use us for one case but importantly to repeatedly use our services.

The overarching mission within our public sector team has always been to contact next of kin as quickly as possible to inform them of an upcoming funeral and give them a chance to attend.

As a team we pride ourselves on the high standards we have set and feel it is essential to not only maintain these standards, but to prove to our clients that such standards will never slip. With this in mind, we have achieved industry leading accreditations and regulation to instill the upmost confidence that you are using the correct firm.

With offices in Wigan and London, we have local expertise and through our established international agents, global reach.
