Title Research always recommends that Personal Representatives get their family trees professionally verified when dealing with an intestate estate or missing beneficiaries. On numerous occasions, they have seen their clients come very close to a misdistribution, where the Personal Representative would have subsequently been liable if there were any claims against the estate.
Even if your clients believe they have a complete family tree, the complex nature of modern families can mean that someone may be missed. Title Research’s blog explores these changing family dynamics and covers:
- Modern families, adoption, and travel/emigration
- The risk of claims against the estate
- A case study on verifying a class gift
- How Title Research can help
