Heir tracing
At ADD GENEALOGÍA we locate the heirs of an inheritance anywhere in the world, guaranteeing their rights until the end of the procedure.
Contact usHow do we do it?
We carry out our work with the support of a team of expert genealogists who combine their knowledge with the most complete genealogical research methods and our own database with more than 500 million indexed records.
When the beneficiary has been located, we justify their inheritance rights and process the inheritance until they take possession of the assets, keeping them informed of all the important stages of the settlement of the estate, with maximum confidentiality with respect to the current Data Protection Law (LOPD).
We guarantee that the heir will never have to pay any money, since ADD GENEALOGÍA assumes the advance of all expenses and also assumes the risk that the inheritance may be negative or even the risk of the emergence of an heir with a better right. In such cases, the heir contacted by us will have nothing to pay and will never see his estate affected.
Who do we collaborate with?
Notaries
We assist notarial offices in completing the certificate of heirship. To do so, we locate the beneficiaries and justify their right to inherit. By joining forces with us, the notarial offices are able to:
- accelerate the process
- simplify procedures, and
- ensure transparency and continuous information
Estate Administrators
Nowadays, when an owner dies leaving a property abandoned and generating debts, a variety of problems affecting the estate may arise related to, for example:
- Delinquency
- A state of abandonment of the residence
- Illegal occupation of the property
- Inability to sell the property, etc.

We collaborate with owners’ associations to solve delinquency on the part of the deceased neighbor, locating their heirs and settling debts in a relatively short period of time. All this free of charge for the associations.
