Who we are
Founded in 1979 by Peter Turvey, and now supported by his two sons Philip and Richard, the company has grown to over 40 staff covering the whole of the UK, with international partners in Africa, Asia, North and South America, Europe and Australia.
From our beginnings in a home office in Suffolk to our two fully-staffed offices in Ipswich and Southport, with many satellite offices, our core principles remain the same – to provide thorough and clear results with an honest and empathetic approach to local, national, and international matters.
Supporting clients and families
For legal and public sector professionals…
With our instructed work, when contacted by a law firm, legal practitioner, professional deputy, or local authority we understand that there is a job to be done without fear of error.
The process we undertake is to keep our clients clearly informed, our evidence presented concisely and without a doubt of its legitimacy. Our ethos is to always be both professional and personal in equal measure.
We employ more accredited genealogists and independently regulated staff than any other UK probate research firm and are proud of our culture of continued support, professional development (link to CPD article, when it’s up) fosters an environment of continued care and support for our clients.
For beneficiaries…
We understand that the process can seem daunting and know that people may have been contacted by several other agencies. It can seem overwhelming.
We are here 24/7 to answer any questions and allay any fears that a beneficiary may have until they are satisfied that they are making the right decision in their probate matter.
We have an in-house team of probate practitioners, with a century’s worth of collective experience, whose main goal is to ensure that everyone is fully informed, fully aware, and completely satisfied with their outcome.

Eileen was extremely helpful every step of the way – even visiting me at my home address to explain the nature of her work in simple terms which was very reassuring.
All was concluded in 3 months resulting in a successful outcome on the unclaimed assets.
My brother and sister also wish to thank Eileen for all she has done for us over the last three months.
I would not hesitate in recommending this company. Thank you.
At the end of the process I requested a copy of the family tree information that had been gathered and thank Carl for providing this without delay.
Initially was wondering what was going on as a distant family member had past away and alot of work needed to be done to track beneficiarys down. In stepped the incredible Eileen Butcher from Anglia a dedicated manager ensuring communication was smooth and kept me up to date with the process as the journey came to an end. A special mention also to Nicki Brumby at Wolsey for excellent communication & plenty of documents for signing over the months making my job a doddle
Kind regards & thank you
