Missing Beneficiaries Tracing Service
Expert research to identify and locate rightful heirs to an estate
When someone dies without a complete family record or without leaving a valid will, identifying all the rightful beneficiaries can be challenging. To avoid legal risk and ensure a fair distribution of the estate, executors and administrators are encouraged to use a Missing Beneficiaries Service before completing estate administration.
Share Data works with trusted genealogy partners to trace missing heirs in both the UK and overseas, including Australia. Our researchers handle all necessary paperwork and conduct legally compliant investigations to identify and verify potential heirs.
What Is an Unclaimed Inheritance?
An unclaimed inheritance refers to assets owed to a beneficiary who is legally entitled to a share of an estate, but cannot be located. If these individuals are not found during the administration process, they may miss their inheritance—and the executor could be exposed to future legal claims.
