Verification of inheritance rights, tracing beneficiaries, establishing the legal order of succession, researching property ownership and locating assets… Probate genealogists address these issues, enabling notaries to regularise their legal acts. They conduct investigations using public databases and records held by archives and local authorities, both in France and internationally. SEGUR offers seven distinct and complementary services: identifying and locating beneficiaries, legatees named in a will or blood relatives (with or without civil-status records); verifying the absence of heirs entitled to a reserved share of the estate so that testamentary provisions can be applied; producing a certified family tree confirming that all heirs have been identified for the settlement of the estate; conducting property and estate asset searches; and establishing the legal order of succession.

At SEGUR, our employees carry out their work with passion… because no one goes into genealogy by chance! Whether they are legal experts, clerks or historians, they all share a keen interest in family histories and lineage.
