Heirship work stalls before the legal work starts
Most of the hours on a complicated heirship matter go to research, not law. That caps how many of these files a firm can take.
- Paralegal time you can't scaleEvery new heirship matter means more hours tracking down records across counties and systems.
- Matters you turn awayWhen the team is full, complicated heirship files get declined or pushed to the back of the queue.
- Clients who wait on youFamilies wait weeks while facts get gathered, and your team spends that time chasing them for details.
- Surprises late in draftingA conflicting date or a missing marriage found late sends the file back to research.

Patigro handles the research. Your attorneys start from a finished file and spend their time on the legal work.

How It Works
From a new matter to a file your attorney can act on.
Submit the matter
Enter the property address and decedent information, then upload the documents your firm already has.
Patigro researches and organizes
We compile title history, family facts, source records, heirship information, and missing or conflicting details.
Your attorney reviews the file
Your team receives a structured research package designed to accelerate drafting, review, and client communication.
Faster heirship files help a firm win the next family.
When a family is choosing an attorney, one of the first things they ask is how long this is going to take.
A firm that can say "we'll have the research back in a day or two" has a better answer than "it could be a few weeks."
The family feels it, too. They aren't stuck filling out family trees or digging for dates they don't remember. Families who have a good experience leave good reviews and tell their friends. That's how one file turns into the next one.
And with the research off the team's plate, there's room to take the files that used to get turned away.
More capacity, and a better file to work from
Your team gets hours back. Your attorneys get a file built for review.

No hidden gaps
When records are missing or disagree, the file says so plainly and leaves the call to you.

Built from files we worked firsthand
Patigro began by helping heirs resolve inherited-property title issues directly. After processing these matters firsthand, we built a repeatable research workflow designed for the law firms handling these files every day.
