LOCATION OF UNCLAIMED ASSETS

EquiTrace works with financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, and brokerage houses as well as with courts to locate assets which are considered unclaimed.         

These may originate from bank accounts, stocks, bonds, estates, mutual funds, insurance proceeds, as well as from other sources.

LOCATION OF MISSING HEIRS

The EquiTrace staff consist of professional genealogists, skilled researchers and investigators who use a variety of sources to locate heirs.
These sources include sophisticated electronic data bases, microfilm records in various archives, court records, and public documents as well as an extensive in-house library of reference materials.

Additionally, our worldwide network of correspondents enables us to locate information and heirs in foreign countries.
Investigations involve a search for documentation that will meet the standards set by financial institutions or courts to authenticate an heir’s lawful right to inherit.

Often these investigations involve researching several generations of a family and many countries.
When required EquiTrace professional genealogists will serve as expert witnesses at kinship hearings to help perfect a claim.
