Services for Heirs
AGHS specializes in research to identify heirs in national and international estate matters.
AGHS does not send out mass mailings. The only reason you are contacted is if you have been identified through genealogical research as a link to an estate.
AGHS bears the full risk before a client receives the inheritance. The fee is contingent upon AGHS’ accuracy and success leaving the client completely risk-free.
- Identification of heirs to estates, guardianships, and trust through genealogical research
- Acquiring all documents to prove the heirship (including translation of foreign documents)
- No cost to heirs unless AGHS is successful
- Advancing all fees and expenses
- Preventing delays for the distribution of estate assets
- Preparing reports, charts, documentation and Affidavits of Due Diligence for the courts.
Mention
