A genealogy and probate research firm will appear on a newly launched YouTube channel to explore the world of family history and estate inheritance.
London-based Fraser and Fraser will feature on Probate TV’s series “Lineage,” a series of short case studies navigating complex probate cases, uncovering long-lost family members, and reuniting heirs with their rightful inheritance.
The series is fronted by case workers who present real-world scenarios, with the episode exploring how they deal with practical, and legal challenges of identifying families, and distribute the complex estates presented by the case.
In episode one, Case Worker Shannon Freeman is tasked with finding the beneficiaries of the estate of a deceased who died intestate. His care home, where he was resident for some years before his death, could shed little light on his history and the episode takes viewers through the process of establishing who his parents were, and any siblings who would be the beneficiary of his estate. It is later revealed the family were not even aware of the existence of the deceased.
“‘Lineage’ offers a glimpse into the world of genealogy and probate research.”
says Neil Fraser, Partner at Fraser and Fraser
“It’s a project we’re delighted to be part of. Probate research is our passion, we are excited to share our knowledge and experience with viewers. Each case presents unique challenges and rewards, and we look forward to revealing the fascinating stories behind our investigations.”
In a series of ‘shorts’ on the site, Probate TV also reaches out to the community of subscribers asking for help locating the beneficiaries of unclaimed estates. A new episode of Lineage will be published every month with the first three episodes available to watch now on Probate TV’s YouTube channel; https://www.youtube.com/@ProbateTV.
