Our detective agency conducts investigations aimed at ascertaining possible embezzlement of inheritance assets and providing all useful information for the reconstruction of inheritance assets.
Frequently, such issues generate disputes between heirs that result in court proceedings, with further complications when the inheritance includes businesses and entrepreneurial activities.
With the goal of establishing the correct asset allocation, those involved may decide to turn to a private investigation firm that can find the necessary documentation to resolve the dispute.
In this sense, the areas of intervention of a private investigator include ascertaining the existence of an executor of a will, identifying heirs and successors, verifying the presence of the deed of renunciation or acceptance with the benefit of inventory, checking for the existence of fake donations, and, finally, specific investigations to ascertain potential misappropriation of inheritance assets.
The investigator provides the client with a comprehensive file of the investigation conducted, complete with valid evidence (documents, testimony, photos/videos) to be presented at trial.
The most common cases of disputed inheritances involve:
- Identification of heirs and successors (e.g., children not legally recognized);
- ascertainments of sham purchases and sales (e.g., sham donations);
- Documentation on de facto acceptance of inheritance (or tacit acceptance);
- Verification of the existence of the quitclaim deed or acceptance with benefit of inventory;
- Embezzlement of property due to the estate.
