Have you been contacted about an inheritance?
Understanding Your Situation
Receiving a letter or a phone call about an inheritance can come as a surprise — and often with many questions. Who was the deceased? Why was I contacted? Is this legitimate? Am I really entitled to something?
In most cases, the contact comes from a probate research firm mandated by a notary or court to identify and locate heirs of an estate. These professionals are legally authorized to act on behalf of the estate to ensure that all rightful heirs are found and receive their inheritance in accordance with the law.
Reference: Inheritance procedures in civil law countries such as France are governed by the Civil Code. For example, Article 720 of the French Civil Code defines the principles of succession and heir determination.

Legal framework and complete inheritance support
At Banian Genealogy, we understand that managing an estate can be complex, especially when it involves several countries or distant heirs.
That's why we offer you comprehensive, secure support with no up-front costs, based on our recognized expertise.
🔹 An exclusive partnership with Coutot-Roehrig
Our firm is the official and exclusive partner of Coutot-Roehrig in Southeast Asia, the European leader in probate genealogy for over 130 years.
The trust and legitimacy offered by this partnership reinforce the solidity of our approach and guarantee you a strictly professional and legal framework.
🔹 Multilingual legal support
Each case is handled by Coutot-Roehrig's international legal department, in collaboration with a sworn lawyer and a local correspondent who speaks your language (French, English, Khmer, Thai, Lao or Vietnamese), depending on your country of residence.
This guarantees transparency, understanding of legal documents, and compliance with applicable law at every stage of the procedure.
🔹 Security, confidentiality and impartiality
All our interventions are carried out within a secure legal framework, with absolute confidentiality, in full compliance with laws protecting personal data and inheritance rights.
How are we remunerated?
Our remuneration is based exclusively on the success of the case, and is the subject of a clear, transparent contract negotiated beforehand.
By entrusting us with the management of your file, you authorize us to undertake all the administrative, legal and notarial steps required to liquidate your inheritance.
We are then remunerated as a percentage of your net assets, calculated according to the complexity of the case, the number of heirs, the international situation and specific administrative formalities.
No set-up, search or administration fees are charged to the heir before the contract is signed.
Our commitment is based on one principle: you don't owe us anything until you receive it.
