Dee Dee King, Certified Genealogist, Certificate No. 903
Forensic genealogy is research, analysis and reporting in legal issues.
Using methodology and ethics consistent with the highest standards of the profession, Forensic Genealogy is conducted by unbiased, disinterested third party practitioners with no personal or professional stake in the outcome.
What is a Forensic Genealogist?
A forensic genealogist is qualified through a combination of education, training and work experience; is employed or retained by attorneys, law offices, estates, courts, corporations, governmental agencies or other entities to perform genealogical work in legal issues as an independent third-party researcher, analyst, reporter and witness.
The field of Forensic Genealogy extends beyond the generally accepted scope of probate. Forensic Genealogists also provide important expertise in oil and gas royalty cases, insurance and trust matters, citizenship, litigation and a variety of other legal issues with a focus on kinship.
"Heir search" is a term frequently used interchangeably with forensic genealogy. Traditionally, heir searchers are those who seek out unknown or missing heirs and contract with them for a percentage of assets from the estate. However, this removes the crucial element of the unbiased, disinterested third party. Forensic Genealogists conduct heirship and probate research as the disinterested third-party.
