Legal Services

Linklines works closely with partners in the Legal Profession and provides specialist services to Lawyers, Trustees, Executors, Administrators and Personal Representatives in the task of tracing heirs and locating missing beneficiaries. 

We can prepare full forensic genealogical reports for cases of intestacy, statutory wills, and can also prepare and submit proposals for missing beneficiary insurance through one of the country's leading insurers. Linklines provides that personal service often not found with the larger organisations and has over the years established working relationships with local and national legal practices. 

Rates are based on an hourly fee normally invoiced on completion*.

The following range of specialist services are provided

  • Family lines or named individuals traced
  • Full family trees constructed
  • Expert witness reports compiled
  • Document tracing, ordering and collection (including birth, marriage and death certificates, wills and grants)
  • Property research
  • Specialist research in the Yorkshire Ridings Registry of Deeds
  • Preparation and submission of Missing Beneficiary Insurance

* - Larger projects may require a deposit and/or interim payments
