What We Do
Connecting generations, solving mysteries
The Just Legacy team specialises in tracing heirs and beneficiaries when someone dies without a will or when there are issues with the estate. Our work involves extensive genealogical research to locate family members who may be entitled to inherit from the deceased's estate.
​
We play a crucial role in ensuring that estates are distributed fairly and according to the law, making sure that rightful heirs receive their inheritance.
Genealogy research is the process of tracing and studying the lineage and history of a family. At Just Legacy we systematically collect and analyse records, documents, and other sources of information to construct a detailed and accurate family tree, offering insights into an individual’s ancestors, their lives, and the historical contexts in which they lived.
How we do it
Genealogical Research:
We delve into family histories, using records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates, census data, and other historical documents to construct family trees.
Legal Documentation:
We gather and verify legal documents to establish the rights of potential heirs. This can include proving relationships and ensuring that the claims are legitimate.
Public Records Access:
We source, access and analyse public records, including wills, probate records, and other legal documents that can help identify rightful heirs.
Collaboration with Legal Professionals:
We work closely with solicitors, estate administrators, and other legal professionals to ensure that the inheritance process is handled correctly and efficiently.
Fieldwork:
We conduct field visits to archives, libraries, and other institutions to gather necessary documentation that isn't available online.
Communication:
We reach out to potential heirs, informing them of their inheritance rights and guiding them through the process of claiming their inheritance
International Research:
In cases where heirs might be located in different countries, we navigate international legal systems and records.
