About us

Who are Blanchards?

We are Blanchards and we are Probate Researchers, although you may know us better as ‘Heir Hunters’.
Our Managing Director, Adam Blanchard, started the company in 2011 as a small family business in Kent. Due to the outstanding results and exceptional service, Blanchards has grown significantly into a thriving international Heir Hunting firm with a large skilled and professional workforce. Together the team has traced thousands of missing heirs around the world and retrieved millions of pounds for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
