Verifying family trees isn’t just for probate cases

Verifying family trees isn’t just for probate cases; there is often a need for this service on Court of Protection matters too.

At Anglia Research, we are frequently instructed by professional deputies to use our extensive genealogical skills to accurately identify P’s nearest relatives and build a confirmed family tree.

This is often done in “stealth mode” due to the requirement to carry out the research confidentially and not actually speak to any of the family. This can at times be challenging, requiring extensive experience and know-how to make sure it’s done right.
