Our Process to Find Missing Heirs

HeirPros offers a free, no-obligation consultation to help probate professionals gain clarity on the probate process and heir searches, even before starting the formal process. Once authorized, HeirPros begins the search with customized online accounts, regular updates, and access to professional genealogists who use extensive resources to ensure thorough research, all at reasonable, flat-fee rates based on hours rather than a percentage of the estate.

Even before we commence the process of finding a missing heir, we give you an opportunity to gain clarity on issues entangling the probate process. 

Our free and no-obligation consultation has proven critical in helping probate professionals understand the circumstances surrounding the probate process and determine the best way forward. 

During the free consultation, you can ask any question pertaining to the heir search or the family complexities, even if you’re not planning to start the process right away. 

Our professional investigators will guide you on research and analysis, legal knowledge, interviewing and fieldwork, documentation and verification, and probate court interaction. 

Starting Heir Search at HeirPros

Note that we only start research on a missing heir once you give us the requisite authorization. Besides, we first have to discuss the specific goals and deadlines. Once all is clear, we can proceed to identifying and verifying persons with rights to the inheritance.
