Who are we?

The Probate Researcher Coop is a loose cooperative of colleagues who support one another mutually, as needed. At the start of a research project, it’s often not clear what direction it’s heading in. It’s helpful to have colleagues who have knowledge of different regions, or are simply closer to the needed sources. Depending on the requirements of a given case, we may process our cases alone, or in teams of two or more researchers – always with the goal of helping you to claim your inheritance as quickly as possible.

In places where we are not able to operate, we have correspondents who support our work.

That's us
