Honours & Awards

The UK Probate Research Awards (renamed the Probate Industry Awards in 2024) honor the best players in the probate industry every year. This includes not only heir finders, but also lawyers specializing in inheritance law, estate planning specialists, and decluttering companies. The award categories are as diverse as the challenges posed by an estate with unknown heirs.

Our managing director, Jan-Mathis Holstein, has already received three awards for his international work. In 2023, our genealogist Dr. Max Bloch also received the award in the category "Best International Heir Tracer" for the first time.
