Fees and Commissions for Public Sector Organisations

For enquiries, please do contact us by phone: +44 (0) 20 8914 8317 or email: [email protected]

No success, no fee. We are proud to support a range of clients, including local authorities, care providers, and other third-party organisations.

In most cases, our fees are contingency-based, meaning that no fees are payable unless we are successful in our work. Even then, our fees are typically deducted directly from the estate’s recovered assets. This ensures there is usually no cost to the referring organisation.

For assignments where a contingency-based approach is not appropriate — such as ad hoc research reports or family tree validations — we operate on a ‘time and materials’ basis. This model ensures transparency and flexibility while maintaining our commitment to delivering a highly competitive and tailored package designed to suit the needs of each individual case and organisation.

Review from Mrs S H
I can’t speak highly enough of this company they go above and beyond finding heirs to estates but they also put me in touch with long lost family members which in my case has been a godsend as I didn’t think I had any link to my past.
