Public Sector

Our free genealogy and probate-related services provide answers to help reduce the burden of welfare funerals and other associated costs.

We have a policy of full transparency. We inform the next of kin of all salient information, so that they can make an informed decision before entering into an agreement.

Proving Entitlement

Whether you are in contact with kin or not, we can provide you with all necessary paperwork to prove eligibility including family tree, supporting certification, certified copy of ID documents.

Safeguarding Property

Until such time as a next of kin is located, the Council has to safeguard the deceased’s property. If the Authority refers the matter as bona vacantia the TSol process could take months. Avoid such risk and delay – in conjunction with our trusted partners we will secure and insure property promptly.
