Now Offering Forensic Genealogy Research Services
Forensic / Heir Research
Archway Genealogy offers forensic genealogy services to law offices, estates, courts, corporations, and financial institutions, providing thorough genealogical reporting on legal issues as an independent third-party. Working on your behalf as a researcher, we conduct searches for beneficiaries to help resolve a probate or real estate case.
Efficiently moving from individuals identified in a decedent’s will, our professional genealogists identify the line of succession and then move to tracing heirs to unclaimed estates, finding missing heirs, missing trust beneficiaries or unknown heirs for inheritance distribution. Our broad experience with complex and challenging genealogy casework allows us to locate beneficiaries with confidence and in keeping with the highest standard of proof.
