At Finders International, we excel in getting the best results, even in cases where there is little information known. We understand that where the funeral is outstanding, this is the first priority. Our experts locate missing beneficiaries as quickly as possible to ensure that you are put in touch with next of kin at the earliest opportunity.
Due Diligence & Risk Management
Using Finders International to find next of kin can give the family a chance to be involved in the funeral, deal with personal belongings and grieve. Taking a proactive approach to locating next of kin safeguards you against potential complaints from family not located prior to the funeral.
We can also help to mitigate risk where next of kin details are in doubt. We can verify their entitlement and provide advice if you are unsure of a family member’s claim to deal with a property, estate or funeral.
Save resources
Once the family have been traced, they can be offered the chance to take on funeral arrangements. This saves time and the cost of funeral arrangements.
Recover costs
If there is an estate to manage, we will provide you with the solicitor’s contact details, so that you can ensure that any unpaid invoices are settled at the earliest opportunity.
