Determining Ownership Through Heirship Research

 Determining legal ownership often begins with a single question:   

Who inherits?  

Answering that question requires far more than building a family tree. It requires understanding probate and estate administration, intestate succession, state-specific descent and distribution laws, and the ability to locate and interpret records from multiple jurisdictions.

Through Heir Advisors Consulting LLC, I provide independent heirship research to determine legal ownership of mineral interests and real property. Every assignment is personally researched using probate records, deeds, court filings, historical records, tax records, newspapers, cemetery records, census records, and other public and private sources as needed to establish accurate, defensible ownership conclusions.

With more than 15 years of continuous experience, I know where to begin, when additional research is warranted, and when the available evidence supports a reliable ownership determination. My work has helped resolve complex heirship matters involving millions of dollars in mineral and real property assets throughout the United States.

Research findings are organized into clear, well-documented reports supported by copies of relevant records, family lineage documentation, ownership analysis, and other supporting materials appropriate to each assignment. Electronic delivery allows clients to quickly review reports and supporting documentation while maintaining complete project records.

Whether identifying a single heir or reconstructing multiple generations of family history, every project receives the same level of thorough research, careful documentation, and attention to detail.
