The Probate Research Awards, now in their fourth year, feature 14 categories from forensic genealogy (heir hunting) to will writing firm, unsung hero, best human interest story and young wills and probate professional.
Criminal barrister and television presenter Rob Rinder will present the 2022 awards at a ceremony next April. Rinder retraced the story of his Holocaust survivor grandfather and other family for an episode of ‘Who do you think you are?’ and a two-part documentary.
