When a beneficiary cannot be contacted
Administering a deceased estate can be complicated when a beneficiary named in a Will cannot be located. They may have moved interstate or overseas, changed their surname or lost contact with family members many years earlier.
How we can assist
People Trace Australia assists solicitors, executors and estate professionals with locating beneficiaries and establishing reliable contact avenues. Investigations may begin with family details, former addresses and documents associated with an estate. We examine relevant records and possible family or address connections.
Reporting for estate matters
Our reports distinguish verified findings from possible connections, so the instructing solicitor or executor can decide the appropriate next steps. We can also assess overseas location enquiries where appropriate. Our role is locating individuals, rather than providing legal advice on estate administration.
