Finders International: Heir hunters of the year

Finders International has won the ‘probate research firm of the year’―for the second time in 2020 

The heir hunting firm, which has worked with more than 4,000 solicitors, scooped the top award at the British Wills & Probate Awards, last month. The judges took into account a range of criteria including company growth, transparency of fees, client satisfaction and staff diversity.

In February, Finders won ‘company of the year’ at the UK Probate Research Awards (the Probies).

Danny Curran (pictured), founder and managing director at Finders International, said: ‘We are thrilled that two separate organisations, and their judges, have independently recognised the high quality of our work, not least in the same year! It’s all down to our growing, loyal and dynamic team who have made this possible.’
