We cross-reference county records, probate filings, obituaries, and multiple public-record databases. Every report is reviewed by a human researcher before delivery. If we can't verify an heir, we flag it rather than guess.
We still deliver a full report. We'll identify the likely heirs through public records and include a recommendation on whether an Affidavit of Heirship or Muniment of Title may be needed.
If we can't deliver a usable report — for example, the property doesn't exist or the owner is alive with no heirs to research — you get a full refund. No questions asked.
Yes. Our research covers any real property in Texas — residential, commercial, vacant land, or agricultural. The process is the same.
You'll receive a PDF report with all findings organized by section, plus a supplemental spreadsheet with heir contact information for easy import into your CRM.
