• Parameters of a search are set within your budget and billed at an hourly rate.  

• Regular check-ins keep you aware of how a search is going and when it will be completed.

• All cases include:

  • A contract detailing the type of research desired, end work product requested and the number of estimated hours.

  • A retainer invoice for the first 10 hours of research (large cases), or the first 3 hours (missing beneficiary cases

  • Reports and Family Trees

    • Reports typically include names and addresses of next of kin, citations with the sources of documents used in the search, a description of the research done and how the next of kin are related to the decedent. 

    • A family tree accompanies all next of kin reports unless otherwise specified. A document file with images of the main sources cited is available upon request.

    • Missing beneficiary cases may include a report or just the name and address of already known next of kin. On the rare occasion that a beneficiary is not successfully located, a report of due diligence, detailing the steps taken and citations of sources consulted in the search will be provided.

    • Family trees detail the visual family structure and include the potential beneficiary’s relationship to the decedent.
