Inheritance Data

Inheritance Data Inheritance Data assists solicitors and estate practitioners by preparing probate of their clients.

The UK's financial asset search platform, designed to explore financial institutions' on behalf of probate solicitors and expose any lost accounts which are owed to a deceased individual during estate administration. We request Financial Institutions to "client search" their systems for lost/dormant as well as accounts that are still active. Our systems will send requests sourced by a probate prac

titioner using the deceased person in questions details to a selection of Financial Institutions relevant to their addresses throughout life.

Financial Asset Search – not sure you need one?

Did you know…

An estimated 2.5% of all shares are ‘lost’!

If you are an executor of an estate for anyone who was old enough and lucky enough to have a few quid in the 1980’s to invest, then a financial asset search is definitely worth your while.

There is an estimated £1 billion in lost FTSE 100 shares and dividends, waiting to be claimed. Lost shares particularly affect anyone who invested in major infrastructure and resources, for example, when Margaret Thatcher privatised state-run companies. These private companies were later acquired or merged, and shares went into a limbo existence.

Duties as an executor

As executor, you have several responsibilities and duties. It’s crucial to fulfil your obligations correctly, as you are legally responsible for administering the estate in accordance with the will and law.

Failure to do so can leave you personally liable.
One of your duties as an executor includes searching for known, unclaimed or lost assets. This involves contacting all relevant financial institutions and gathering accurate information on the deceased’s estate.

You may not know where to start or have the time to do this. If this sounds like you, you may benefit from the Inheritance Data Financial Asset Search service.

We offer a fully tailored Financial Asset Search that maximises search efforts, exposes lost accounts or life assurance policies, and minimises your liability as executor.

By ensuring you have the most reliable and in-depth information about the deceased’s assets, it significantly cuts the risk of your financial liability for an error that results in a loss to the estate or potential legal costs over an inheritance dispute.

Financial Asset Search – not sure you need one?

Did you know….

Those born in the 1930s or 40s might have had a distrust of financial institutions due to the Depression and wartime, meaning they didn’t keep their hard-earned money in the one place.

Finding money across multiple or forgotten about accounts is one challenge executors must face.

For older couples, it was also traditional for men to work and for women to be homemakers. Women tend to live longer than men do but might not have overseen their joint or personally owned finances.

A Financial Asset Search can uncover any hidden accounts.

Get peace of mind.

An executor is responsible in perpetuity for administering an estate. This means that, should a case need to be reopened, it would be at the executors expense.

HMRC would also need to be informed regarding any inheritance tax liability and there could be a risk of fines.

However, completing a Financial Asset Search ensures that, if an additional asset is subsequently discovered, the executor can demonstrate that they have discharged their duty to search for assets and the financial institute is at fault for failing to disclose the asset. This also negates any potential issue with HMRC regarding inheritance tax.

Reduce administration time.

Being an executor of a will can be very time consuming

Writing letters to all relevant financial institutions looking for assets takes a considerable amount of time.

Inheritance data financial asset search service contacts all those financial institutions on behalf of the executor requesting a complete search of their databases for one fixed fee.

One simple form and your request is sent to 200 financial institutions looking for any accounts or policy type whether it may be lost, dormant or still active.

Unclaimed assets are increasing every year

There is an estimated £200 billion in dormant accounts held by UK financial institutions. Whether it is from banks or building societies, shares and dividends on the Financial Times Stock Exchange, life policies or premium bonds dating as far back as the 1950s.

The figure is increasing year-on-year as executors are not aware of bank accounts and pension pots that, during lifetime of the now deceased, became “lost”.

If people forget about accounts and the company cannot get in touch with the owner, then unclaimed money can be transferred to the State after 15 years. Companies grow, merge, go bust and change names, and people change jobs and can hold a number of accounts and policies, making it difficult to focus your efforts in the right place.

Our tracing service looks in all possible corners to uncover lost wealth.
