We assist attorneys, trustees, estate executors and administrators worldwide in identifying, locating, and verifying rightful heirs to an estate. Often beneficiaries are completely unaware that they stand to inherit.
Legacy Probate International uses forensic genealogy to trace family lineage as far back as the 1800s, literally searching the globe to identify and locate an estate’s rightful heirs.
We notify the potential heir, and offer our services in helping them to file their claim. Often the research used to locate them is needed to support the legitimacy of their claim in probate court.
Most of the heirs we locate do not know that they stand to inherit from an estate, introducing them to a legacy that would be otherwise lost to them.
We use an intricate genealogical process to locate legal heirs, establishing a solid probate case as part of our detective work.
We assume all risk for the work that we do. We will NEVER charge any fees until your inheritance is settled.
You can count on us to walk you through the process every step of the way from beginning to end – no matter how long it takes.
Forensic genealogy can be fascinating work. Over the years, this process of tracing bloodlines through birth records and historical data has led us to some intriguing discoveries that help reveal the value of the work we perform.
When the forensic genealogists of Legacy Probate International begin work on a case, we never know where it may lead us. Genealogy does not discriminate and so we find heirs from all walks of life. Over the years we’ve located famous heirs and regular Joes (& Joans!), rich and poor, foreign and domestic. Sometimes the heirs we locate are interesting, but other times it’s what we uncover in the past that gets the crew excited. And so it was when we dug into the genealogy of Cynthia M. It turns out her father was married a couple times and while we searched through the records we uncovered a marriage to a woman named Grace. She just happened to be the granddaughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. Apparently his son Teddy Jr. met our decedent’s father while hunting in Indochina so he introduced him to his daughter and the rest is history, except for the part about her cousin being President Franklin D. Roosevelt. We can only imagine the pressure on him when he went to dinner for the first time with the Roosevelts!

I want to thank you for all your kindness, time and information regarding my third cousin’s estate. It’s sad that he didn’t have anyone close to him while alive. I never even knew he existed and I’m sure he didn’t know of me either. It’s all very fascinating and if it weren’t for people like you, I may never have known of him. I want you to know how much your firm is appreciated for what you do. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for ‘finding us.’ We kept in touch with our cousin for many years but then lost track of her. We received our check a week ago. It meant a lot to my husband since he
has debilitating arthritis and had to retire early. God Bless You.
This note is to thank you for your prompt attention to my request for a chronological account of my second cousin’s estate. The material is fascinating and I have spent hours recalling forgotten relatives. I don’t remember my grandmother talking about so many brothers and sisters. I sent a copy of the family tree to my brother. He will love it too. Again, thank you.
I would like to thank you for the research and resulting check that you sent me. I realize that your company does this sort of thing for financial reasons but I can’t help but think it is helpful to a lot of people. Actually, it is like a gift from heaven. As we are in our 80’s we want to stay in our home as long as possible and of course there are things that need to be kept up because you know one day you will have to sell. We are planning on updating our appliances in our kitchen and possibly a new furnace so we really appreciate the unexpected gift. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Thank you for all your help. You have been a very nice, professional firm to communicate with. That is hard to find these days, trust me. It was a pleasure doing business with a company that helps others. A lot of people, including myself at one time didn’t know this profession existed.
