Fraser and Fraser
Genealogists
Fraser and Fraser have been working with the Public Sector since 1969. Our role is to locate the next of kin of deceased persons. We’re regulated by the Association of Probate Researchers (APR), which allows us to follow best-practice methods.
Our work, free-of-charge to the Public Sector, supports Local Authorities and other Public Sector bodies in a number of ways, including:
- Where a Council is arranging a funeral under s.46 Public Health 1984.
- Where a Council’s Adult Social Care / Appointeeship & Deputyship team has been looking after the financial affairs of their client and their client passes away.
- Where a Council’s Private Sector Housing Team is working to bring Empty Homes back into use and will need to engage with owners of the Empty Homes.
We understand the sensitivity of people-tracing and are committed to carrying it out with tact, empathy and discretion.

We work with local authorities and public bodies across the UK to trace next of kin for those who die intestate.

Our in-house administration team, Wolsey Probate, offers a complete estate administration service from start to finish. The division consists of a fully qualified, SRA regulated solicitor, and is staffed by legally qualified practitioners with a specialism in intestacy matters, and their specialism often makes the process much smoother for all involved
