Family Tree Verification
Finders are often asked to undertake family tree verification prior to assets or funds being passed to a person claiming to be a family member and entitled relative.
Finders verification of this family tree research is a requirement before an application for a Missing Beneficiary Indemnity Insurance Policy from AVIVA prior to distribution of an Estate.
We have found errors or omissions in a large number of cases. This can lead to the incorrect distribution or, transfer of funds or assets, indemnity insurance claims (assuming an insurer will agree to issue a policy), or even legal action being taken – not to mention the potential, for bad publicity.
Errors can occur for a number of reasons, including:
- Reliance on a single family member for information.
- Reliance on internet-based information sources, which have errors in transcription in about 10% of all records.
- Using an inexperienced researcher or genealogist, perhaps with limited research resources at their disposal.
