Why choose a forensic genealogist?

By using a forensic genealogist, you save your firm and your client time and money. Being familiar with both genealogy standards and court requirements, a forensic genealogist can trace heirs or prior landowners, AND provide you with documentation you can provide to your client, and documentation you can submit to the court (i.e., a notarized Affidavit, tailored to the court’s formatting requirements).
