One of the key issues that can arise for those involved in dealing with an empty property, such as local authorities and other public and private sector organisations, is the identification and tracing of missing or unknown next of kin where the owner of the property has passed away.<\/p>\n

This often occurs where the property owner died without preparing a will (intestate) and left no information as to who is entitled. This can cause an array of problems, including excessive delays, burdensome processes and unnecessary costs for those who want to put the property back into use.<\/p>\n

Our Solution<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our Inheritance Tracing and Empty Homes team have developed an effective solution which enables the tracing of missing or unknown beneficiaries and next of kin. Working with our trusted partners we are able, in the vast majority of situations, to identify next of kin within 24-48 hours of being instructed. This, in turn, allows the process of estate administration to be expedited as the grant of representation can be applied for, which enables the empty property to be put back to use.<\/p>\n

Once the grant of representation has been obtained, the property can then either be sold or transferred to a particular beneficiary (where applicable), resulting in the empty home being placed on the open market or under new ownership. By carrying out this process, we are helping to alleviate the wider empty homes crisis in the UK by putting these properties back into use.<\/p>\n

Our Inheritance Tracing and Empty Homes team offer a nationwide cost-effective service, which ensures that those dealing with the administration of an estate, which involves an empty property, can avoid any difficulties and unnecessary delays through the timely identification of unknown or missing next of kin.<\/p>\n
