New Genealogist Practice Launches in the North

With a wealth of legal experience behind it, Kin Probate, a new genealogist practice based in Liverpool offers its clients exceptional service and a commitment to create a long-term reciprocal relationship; hence its slogan, ‘a connection to trust’.

Founded by local solicitor James Gartland, formerly of Halliwells LLP and Weightmans, James knows first-hand what solicitors look for when it comes to choosing an expert. With his new project Kin Probate, he wants to adopt a transparent, different and more trusting approach for his clients, so that all parties are better informed.

Having always had an interest in the world of business, James wants to challenge the traditional southern-based firms and become the genealogist of choice for solicitors and the public sector using the unique simplified service of ‘Kin: Search’, ‘Kin: Verify’ and ‘Probate: Resolution’. Kin Probate offers a free initial assessment and a range of fee options tailored to the case.

In addition to his legal background, James is an active member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and is an accredited Expert Witness.

Keen to make a difference and tackle a variety of issues, James has been instrumental in organising a social clean-up on the banks of the river Mersey (#merseyparadise), with plastic waste and its environmental impact on the coastlines being a current hot topic.

Kin Probate has recently welcomed Michaela Hulme, a professional genealogist and course leader in History at Manchester Metropolitan University to enhance the firm’s offering. With big ambition, experience and capability it won’t be long before Kin Probate becomes the go-to firm for intestate deaths and more.
