Genealogy in the UK is an unregulated industry, with very few barriers to entry. As such, there are numerous firms of Heir Hunters, large and small, that can present themselves as reputable firms able to assist the legal profession.
Title Research is the only major UK genealogy firm that specialises in solely working with private client practitioners, and one of four firms to be regulated by the FCA for insurance mediation purposes.
In this webinar, technical manager Simon Barber will cover case studies in which professionals find themselves dealing with an estate that has had involvement from Heir Hunters, which has not fully resolved the matter, and they need additional support from Title Research.
Common scenarios include:
- Heir Hunter is not able to arrange insurance or is unwilling to do so;
- ‘Free’ research is not suitable or comprehensive enough;
- Details of the located heirs were not passed on because they refused to sign commission agreements with the Heir Hunter.
