Confirm Death & Locate Next of Kin

Gain access to over 3 million Australian death records dated from 2000 onwards, genealogists can quickly and easily identify deceased individuals and reference them in their research. It can help them start the process to uncover valuable family history information, such as the cause of death, date of death and burial location.

A common use case for the Australian Death Check service is to confirm the death of an individual and locate their next of kin. This is particularly important in cases where the individual has passed away without leaving a will or without any known heirs. Often genealogists are tasked with this investigation.

Confirm death & locate family

A solicitor may be tasked with administering the estate of a deceased individual. In order to do so, they must first locate the next of kin of the deceased. If the individual has no living relatives or their whereabouts are unknown, the solicitor may need to take further steps to locate them, such as placing advertisements in local newspapers or contacting various government agencies. Genealogists are often engaged to confirm the death date and associate the deceased to next of kins. Our Australian Death Check data, together with our Caspar solution handles this task in minutes and seamlessly.

Fill in gaps in family history

If a genealogist is missing key information about a particular individual in their family tree, confirming their death or knowing whether they are still alive can help to fill in gaps in the family history. This can provide valuable information about the individual’s life and their family connections. Often existing family members are unaware whether a relative is still living or not and a simple Australian Death Check with our solution will answer this quickly.
