Frequently asked questions
Families and Heirs
Is this real? / Is this a scam?
We understand how surprising this kind of outreach can feel — especially when it comes out of the blue. And yes, this is real. Seek Research is a professional company that works with licensed probate attorneys and title companies, and the files go through the court to properly establish legal entitlement for the heirs to long-forgotten properties.
We never ask families for any money upfront. If we contacted you, it’s because we believe you may be legally entitled to an inheritance.
How did you find me?
We’re a research company — and we’re very thorough. If we contacted you, it’s because we’ve uncovered a legitimate connection worth exploring.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No — never. We cover all upfront costs to resolve the title, coordinate with legal professionals, and move the process forward. We’re only reimbursed at closing. You’ll never be asked to pay out-of-pocket.
How does the process work?
Once we confirm your connection to the property, we help verify ownership, locate any additional heirs, and, if needed, coordinate the legal steps through probate. We work directly with attorneys and title companies to clear the title — handling the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. We also provide the court with the necessary documentation to substantiate your family’s rightful claim
Our goal is to bring dormant properties back to life — while helping families access generational wealth that often goes unclaimed.
Every case is different, but we guide you through each step. And you’ll have access to our secure online portal for real-time updates and full transparency.
How do I track what’s happening with my case?
We give every client access to a secure online portal where you can see real-time updates, track progress, and stay informed throughout the process. You’ll be able to see the latest documents — so you’re never in the dark.
