Our Services

Probate Genealogy & Heir Hunting

Probate Genealogy is the Science of Forensic Genealogical Investigation to establish legal heirs in estates and other matters. Our partners and clients predominantly come from the legal, trustee and probate research industries in Australia, NZ, UK and Ireland, our areas of expertise. Our experience and global contacts mean that we can also conduct research in other parts of the world. 


If you're a potential beneficiary or organisation that has been contacted by us, or another interested party, then please know that the matters we handle are legitimate and that we work with those involved to allay concerns and guide them through the process of confirming their entitlements. Contact us and we'll help you.

Family, Local or Special History Projects

We are the 'Go To Place' to resolve your research needs with over 35 years' experience in family history and other types of research. 


We've provided research for the Museum Victoria to discover more about Richard Dubourg, a London Cork Modeller from the late 18th and early 19th Century providing the Museum with crucial results on Richard's true identity, parents,  background, related lines and what he got up to during his lifetime. 


Historically, he had always been confused with another artist by the same surname. In fact many believed they were one and the same, but with focused research we proved that they were two separate artists.

Other Enquiries

We welcome contact from all potential beneficiaries, organisations, prospective Probate Genealogy or Family History clients, partners and all parts of the media. The Privacy of all individuals, partners and clients though will always be protected and specific Cases will only be discussed with those involved. We are also willing to discuss any genealogical or historical research needs. 


Probate Genealogy is an interesting business, so we would be happy also to provide editorial copy about our services for approved relevant publications. Drop us a line.
