Beneficiary Tracing – Every Heir, Every Answer

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.

Why Beneficiary Tracing Matters

  • Legal Duty – Executors and solicitors must demonstrate due diligence before distributing estates.
  • Avoiding Delays – Missing heirs can stall probate, sometimes for years.
  • Risk Management – Failure to trace heirs can expose executors to legal challenges and liability.
  • Family Resolution – Sensitive tracing can help reunite families or resolve long-standing disputes.

  • Working with trusted international partners for global searches

Case Examples & Costs

Here are some recent examples of how our services have supported clients. Each case highlights how Panthera Investigations delivers clear, reliable, and court-ready results tailored to the needs of solicitors, businesses, and private individuals.

Case 1: Missing UK Beneficiary

A solicitor required confirmation of a beneficiary’s address before releasing inheritance. Within 48 hours, our investigation located their new residence and verified occupancy, enabling probate to proceed without delay.
📂 Package Used: £195 (Standard Beneficiary Trace)

Case 2: Overseas Heir

An executor believed a beneficiary had emigrated to Australia. Through our trusted international partners, we confirmed their address and residency status, allowing probate to move forward with confidence.
📂 Package Used: £395 (Complex Overseas Trace)

Case 3: Intestacy Case

When no will could be found, the estate required identification of next of kin. Our investigation traced and verified three estranged siblings, confirming their entitlement under intestacy rules.
📂 Package Used: £295 per person (Standard Trace)

Case 4: Contested Probate

A dispute arose over whether a named heir was still alive and entitled to inherit. We provided verified proof of residence, supporting the solicitor’s case in court and ensuring due diligence was met.
📂 Package Used: £250 (Standard Trace + Verification)
