Testimonials

"Your firm was able to locate more than 96 percent of these missing participants, some of whom hadn’t been heard from in as long as 15 years. We were delighted, finally, to be able to pay all the life insurance and pension benefits due them."

"Your prompt efforts in locating a frequently moving heir in the ______estate were greatly appreciated. I had done all I could do to locate the two heirs using all of the family, friend and employment contacts I could come up with. Two other heir-tracing companies tried but failed to come up with anything. I had given up hope, but you located the two heirs even though they had made great efforts not to be found. You could have ended your service at that point and still have done an exemplary job. However, you did more. You acted as a negotiator to convince these two highly suspicious individuals that the inheritance was legitimate and you convinced them to cooperate.

"Thanks to you I was able to report to Probate Court that I had located the heirs, obtain a substantial Succession Tax refund from the State of _____ and settle the estate to everyone’s satisfaction. You can be sure that you will be the first call I will make when I need to locate an individual in the future."

"We used GRI’s services for two estates. When you file for probate, as part of the probate process, the judge requests a family tree. In these two estates everyone said the deceased was "the end of the line" —that there were no other relatives. GRI was hired to check back and find the closest living relatives. These cases are not too common, but they do happen.

"We were able to provide to GRI only the name of the deceased, the city and date of death. GRI did find the closest living relatives, in one case in Germany, the other in Chicago and Florida. In both cases the relatives were contacted and given the opportunity to contest the will, as the law requires.

"The search was done completely, professionally and conscientiously. GRI kept in touch, followed up and the reports were thorough. The probate judge was quite impressed by the reports submitted.

"We have used other services in the past, and the results, time frame and follow up provided by GRI were superior."

"Thank you for an excellent job . . . We had been frustrated by our inability to find retired former employees who participate in our pension and life insurance plans. Quite a few of these retirees didn’t think to notify us when they moved, and all of the usual methods we used to locate them were not successful. Our trying repeatedly and unsuccessfully to contact them added up to considerable expense, both in terms of time spent looking for them and dealing with returned mail. It was also a great concern of ours that in their case, we were not able to discharge our legally required obligations.

"Greenwich Research is a valuable resource that I would recommend to others most highly. Your firm is prompt, efficient, and has been a great advantage to us."
