Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bona Vacantia?

Bona Vacantia generally refers to ownerless property that passes to the Crown. In probate matters this can include estates where no entitled relative has yet been identified.

Do I pay anything if the claim is unsuccessful?

Under our standard success-fee arrangement, no research fee is payable if the claim is unsuccessful and no monies are recovered. Exact terms are set out in the written agreement.

How much does the service cost?

Our standard fee is 30% of monies successfully recovered, subject to the written agreement.

Can you guarantee that I am entitled to an estate?

No. Research can identify evidence supporting a potential relationship, but entitlement is determined through the appropriate probate and legal process.
