Estatesearch marked a significant achievement by being honoured with the titles of Best Legal Industry Service Provider and Best Technology and Innovation Provider at the recent Probate Industry Awards. This accolade recognises the firm’s outstanding contribution to the legal sector, particularly in the realm of technology and innovation where it strives to modernise and streamline traditionally cumbersome processes.
The Probate Industry Awards, now in its sixth year and informally known as The Probies, seeks to commend excellence across the diverse landscape of probate services. By acknowledging Estatesearch’s achievements, the awards emphasise the firm’s role in transforming the industry through its innovative solutions.
Ben Furlong, Managing Director of Estatesearch, expressed his gratitude, stating the company is both ‘thrilled and humbled’ by this recognition. He highlighted the company’s focus on enhancing operational efficiencies and risk mitigation, offering services that provide legal clients with a distinct competitive edge and reduce administrative burdens.
A key highlight of Estatesearch’s service offerings is its Financial Profile Service. Accessible via a secure portal, this service supports due diligence in probate processes by aggregating data from over 150 financial institutions and 450 databases. It allows for comprehensive identification of estate assets and liabilities, with 93% of clients acknowledging the added value and 70% discovering previously unknown accounts.
Tom Bottomley, a partner at Ewart Price, stated that financial asset searches are now integral to estate administration. He noted, ‘It makes the task of information gathering infinitely less time-consuming and difficult.’ This sentiment reflects the broader industry acceptance of Estatesearch’s contributions.
Further bolstering its reputation, Estatesearch has expanded its operations into Scotland, employing a dedicated Scottish account manager, and has launched in Canada. The firm’s commitment to client service and security is evidenced by its ISO27001 certification, which reassures clients of its dedication to data protection.
The company’s accolades at the Probate Industry Awards validate its effort to enhance client outcomes significantly. Estatesearch not only focuses on delivering robust technology solutions but also positions itself as a ‘partner’ to clients, promising a cooperative approach that extends beyond mere service provision.
Estatesearch’s dual awards at the Probate Industry Awards highlight its pivotal role in advancing the probate industry.
