Tracing beneficiaries overseas
A starting point when heirs, accounts, or property span more than one country. This page links you to our published guides and planners — it does not trace people for you.
This page is a planning hub, not a search tool.
Generational does not locate unknown heirs or provide legal advice. Use the links below to reach our guides, checklists, and calculators — then hire qualified professionals in each country where assets sit.
If you landed here after a death or a family scramble over who inherits what, start with the cross-border inheritance guide. Use the probate and property planners when you need a worksheet. We publish educational planning material only; attorneys in each jurisdiction handle legal work.
