Most of this website has been geared towards advising who we are and what we do. This page is when it is your turn to provide us with that same type of information. The reasons for assisting our to your benefit.
Accurate information speeds up verification
Valid information results in faster payout
Faster payouts allow your departed to rest in peace.
Some people take the 'why should I tell you approach?' And yes, that is your right to privacy. To an administrator with a duty owned to the estate, not you, the obligation then becomes advising the court a person is not cooperative and is blocking verification efforts.
Failure to verify results in exclusion
Prolonged court battles consume inheritance sums unnecessarily
The administrators duties include identifying fraud. You could wrongly portray yourself as a criminal.
Knowing why helps to understand what is needed, and why we ask for things. Leaning how to become an heir helps us help you.
When not to even try
Plenty of people have tried to make false claims to fool us and the courts. Yet we are far smarter than those fraudsters. We destroy them regularly. Learn why you may want to skip this party.
We have found people resist the process required by law far less if they are simply told what it is. So allow us, to help us help you.
The overview is not complete until you know who is involved in this process and the different roles they play. Get familiar with the players.
With some knowledge of why, let's give the claims process a try.
Because you read each of the above articles, you know what is expected of you and who is required to do what. Be sure to check the forms page too.
Now we can apply it.
The identified information is necessary for us to proceed. Gather it up, (tip: certified records make it go faster) and get ready to send it.
You have gathered all those documents and cannot wait to submit, right? We get it, but we also get the need to protect your information. When you are ready, contact us and we will provide a secure means to submit the information.
What about the what if's? There are always going to be weird events that come up, this is a field that covers all human life. If necessary we can think of a work around or make suggestions. But know we do not provide legal advice. We also are under no obligation to assist anyone. Once a court decides you are a valid heir, then we will be obliged to perform as required by law. Until then, it is a courtesy to help the legitimate heirs, so be nice and you will find a pleasant staff awaits.
