IGS was my final attempt after a year–long fruitless search for an heir who had moved out of state. Frankly, your 'results guaranteed or no charge policy' is what motivated me. Imagine my surprise when you located her within a few days. The client was elated!

In reviewing your results of your search for Heirs–at–Law, I am amazed at the information and documentation your company is able to aquire. It has been my pleasure to work with IGS and I am happy to refer others to you for any search for Heirs–at–Law.

Thanks to IGS' fixed fees, our heirs benefited from the estate. Your efficiency and professionalism helped us get the job done in record time without extra debt. It is gratifying to know there is a way to obtain required information without bankrupting a small estate. Kudos to IGS.
