When someone passes away, locating all beneficiaries is not just a courtesy — it’s a legal responsibility. Executors and solicitors must take reasonable steps to identify and trace heirs before an estate can be distributed. In reality, this can be a complex, time-consuming process: estrangement, emigration, incomplete family records, or missing heirs can stall probate for months or even years. These delays block estate distribution, drive up legal costs, and create stress for everyone involved.
At Panthera Investigations, we specialise in professional beneficiary tracing services that bring clarity and certainty to estate administration. Working closely with executors, solicitors, and probate professionals, we ensure every entitled beneficiary is identified, located, and confirmed — whether in the UK or overseas.
Our investigations combine lawful methods, verified sources, and discreet enquiries to provide clear, factual evidence of identity and entitlement. From confirming the address of a single missing heir to untangling the complexities of a multi-jurisdictional estate, we deliver results that stand up to both legal and ethical scrutiny.
Every search is conducted with accuracy, sensitivity, and compliance at its core. Panthera Investigations ensures:
