Family Tree Verification

Finders International are often asked to check research or family tree information before an application for a Missing Beneficiary Comfort Policy can be obtained or the distribution of an estate can take place.

We have found omissions or mistakes in about 50% of these cases; a worrying problem which could potentially result in claims for repayment of beneficiaries’ inheritance (in the absence of an insurance policy) or even legal action against the estate administrator.

There are a number of reasons for errors occurring, including:

• Relying on a family member for details.
• Relying on internet-based information sources, which have errors in transcription in about 10% of all records.
• Using an inexperienced researcher or amateur genealogist, who may have limited research resources at their disposal.
