Probate & Heir Research
Legacy Quest Genealogy specializes in genealogical research for probate, estate, and inheritance matters, with experience in records across Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and U.S. immigrant communities. I specialize in multilingual research, including civil registration, Catholic parish archives, and consular documentation. Whether you're an attorney, fiduciary, public administrator, or private heir, I provide accurate, court-ready documentation to support your legal case.
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
