October is National Women’s Small Business Month! 💗

As a women-owned small business, this month is especially meaningful to us at Sleuth Search Partners.

Building a business takes hard work, determination, and a whole lot of dedication. We’re proud of what we’re building together and grateful for the clients who continue to trust us with their investigative needs.

Here’s to the women taking chances, building businesses, and supporting one another along the way!

Happy National Women’s Small Business Month!

Waiting on a death certificate for a Florida probate matter? This update is worth knowing.

On October 1, the Florida Supreme Court approved an amendment to Probate Rule 5.205, effective January 1, 2027. The revised rule will require evidence of death allowed under section 731.103, rather than specifically requiring an official death record.

The Court explained that the change clarifies that a death certificate is not required to open a formal estate administration.

Proof of death is still required, and filing deadlines still apply. The attorney handling the estate will need to determine what evidence is appropriate.

For attorneys and investigators working with hard-to-obtain records, that distinction matters.

At Sleuth Search Partners, we help attorneys research deceased individuals, identify potential heirs, verify family relationships, and locate relatives. Our role is to gather and document the findings so the attorney has clear information to work with.

Have an estate with missing heirs or conflicting family information? Reach out to discuss how we can help.

A little late posting this, but we had such a great experience attending FALI-U in Tampa earlier this month.

We’re always looking for opportunities to keep learning, growing, and connecting with others in the investigative field. It was such a valuable day getting to hear different perspectives, pick up new ideas and resources, and spend time immersed in the industry.

A big thank you to the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators (FALI) for putting together such a great event. We’re grateful for the opportunity and already looking forward to the next one!

When most people hear “private investigator,” they picture surveillance.

Sitting in a car.

Following someone.

Taking photos.

And yes, that can absolutely be part of the job.

But some of our cases look completely different.

Finding heirs no one has heard from in years.

Locating a witness from an old case.

Tracking down someone who moved across the country.

Researching family connections.

Digging through public records.

Helping attorneys figure out where to even start.

Some cases take us into the field.

Some never leave the computer.

Some start with almost nothing except a name.

That’s one of the reasons we love this work. No two cases are exactly the same.

We’re going to start sharing more of the side of private investigation most people never get to see.

Follow along. 🔎

An obituary can tell you a lot about a family. But does it establish a legal relationship?

In today’s Probate Case File, the decedent’s obituary identifies someone as a “stepson.” He lived with the decedent as a child, used the decedent’s surname, and may even have been referred to as a son elsewhere.

But those facts alone do not establish that a legal adoption occurred.

This is exactly why heir research often requires looking beyond how relationships are described publicly. Family terminology can be informal, inconsistent, or simply incomplete. When legal heirship matters, the underlying relationship needs to be supported by appropriate records and corroborating research.

The answer is C: An adoption record or court order establishing the legal relationship.

Did you get it right?

When a borrower passes away, who is responsible for identifying and locating the heirs?

A Guardian ad Litem serves an important legal role when the court determines one is needed. But identifying family relationships, verifying potential heirs, and locating living individuals is investigative work that can often begin earlier.

Could completing that research sooner give foreclosure counsel clearer options and help reduce unnecessary delays or expenses in some cases?

We explore that question in our newest blog post.
