When an 81-year-old man passed away in a Dublin hospital, he left behind no known next of kin. With no immediate family or clear leads, Finders International’s Dublin office was called upon to assist. As specialists in tracing heirs and beneficiaries to estates worldwide, our team set to work. But this was no straightforward case.

Initial investigations revealed a significant challenge: the deceased had been registered under his mother’s maiden name, complicating the search for relatives. Despite the complexity, and through meticulous research, we uncovered his mother’s grave and delved into historical probate records, piecing together the missing links in his family history.

A breakthrough came when we located his solicitor, who was holding a copy of his will. This document provided the key information needed to identify his rightful heirs.

Our international search led us beyond Ireland’s borders, connecting beneficiaries across the UK, Spain, Canada, and Thailand. Thanks to Finders International’s extensive global network and diligent research methods, we could ensure that the man’s final wishes were fulfilled, and his estate was distributed as intended.

This case is a testament to Finders International Ireland’s commitment to reuniting families, preserving legacies, and bringing closure to what can often seem like unsolvable mysteries.
