Blanchards International provides genealogy and tracing services for lawyers and law firms worldwide.
Since 2011, Blanchards International have traced heirs and missing beneficiaries for lawyers, solicitors and legal bodies worldwide
In modern day lifestyles, it’s not uncommon for people to move house, relocate abroad or estrange from relationships. As family and friends may drift, it can be difficult to regain contact.
At Blanchards International, we understand that no two cases are the same. You may be executing a will and trying to locate a missing beneficiary, or you could be handling a complex intestacy case. Whatever the situation, we specialise in identifying and tracing missing next of kin. Intestacy cases can be particularly challenging due to the laws that govern them. Our team completes the deceased’s family tree and gather details of the next of kin to ensure they receive their rightful entitlement.
In an industry that is largely unregulated, we have chosen to voluntarily register with the IAPPR. We are committed to maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards, recognising how important these values are to lawyers and other legal bodies.
