Our Core Deliverables
Sworn Affidavit of Heirship or Due Diligence
-
A concise report outlining the family structure of the decedent, documenting each identified heir and their relationship to the estate. If no qualifying next-of-kin are found, I provide a certified summary of negative findings.​.
Family Relationship Charts
-
Clear visual diagrams of the decedent’s maternal and paternal lines, showing all known heirs and their generational position. Charts are fully aligned with affidavit exhibits for courtroom reference.
​
International Certified, Apostilled & Translated Records
-
I obtain certified foreign civil records and coordinate the issuance of apostilles where required. We work directly with local registries and offer certified English translations upon request.
Onsite Researchers
-
Established international contacts to conduct onsite research in all countries of expertise.
