Estates which come to our attention may have been sitting on the Queens and Lord Treasures Remembrancer List (QLTR) or The Bona Vacantia List (TSoL) for many years, or we may have been referred a case by a Lawyer, Solicitor or an individual who may have known the deceased.

The Queens and Lord Treasures Remembrancer List (QLTR) or The Bona Vacantia List (TSoL) holds the Government’s Treasury Department for Scotland, England and Wales and contains estates which have been passed to them where the deceased has died intestate.

The deceased person in question may have passed away without any known kin and without having written a valid will or other binding declaration, or they may have blood relations and are unaware of the funds passed to the Treasury. These funds may result from an insurance policy, bank account, or organisation.

Our Scottish probate genealogist at Gengenie Research (also known as an heir Hunter) relentlessly traces missing heirs to estates worldwide, especially those with Scottish connections. Our meticulous Probate Genealogy Research skills are dedicated to tracing and locating the estate’s missing heirs, ensuring every potential beneficiary gets noticed.
