Our 2022 Conference Exhibitors

We couldn’t hold our annual conferences without the support of our fantastic exhibitors. Our exhibitors for this year’s 25th Annual conference are:

Finders (Exhibitor)

Finders International was established by Managing Director Danny Curran in 1997 who has been in the probate research industry since 1990.

Our global reach, exceptional results and quality of service are well known to our numerous regular clients. We have offices in London, Edinburgh & Dublin and a full international network and are regulated by the International Association of Professional Probate Researchers, the first and only international association for the probate genealogy industry, representing the cream of worldwide probate research, forensic genealogy, unclaimed asset reunification and estate research firms.

Members are vetted and approved and adhere to codes of conduct and ethics. We can trace our roots back to 1964, when Daniel Curran’s father founded a probate research firm in London that grew to become a highly respected firm. Finders International is now the largest probate research firm in the UK.

HM Land Registry (Exhibitor)

Find information about a property in England or Wales, even if you do not own it. Search by address to find the owner and how far its general boundaries extend.

You can download copies of the title plan and title register for a property in the service.

The title plan includes the property’s location and general boundaries.

The title register usually includes:

• who owns the property

• details of any ‘restrictive covenants’ - promises to not do certain things with the land, like not building on a particular area

• details of any ‘easements’ - the rights of one piece of land over another, like a right of way

In some cases, the title register will not include the details of the restrictive covenants or easements but will say which documents do.

Lawshare (Exhibitor)

Lawshare members can refer work to JMW in any area of law when they are unable to deal with an enquiry from a client. This could be due to a conflict if the matter falls outside their area of expertise or if there is a capacity issue.

Members receive profit share in most referrals and more importantly are always provided with an absolute assurance that JMW will only act for their client in the referred case.

This means Lawshare members safeguard their client relationships, generate extra income, and always ensure their clients get the advice they need. We currently have over 600 members, including a number of sole practitioners from all over the country, who trust Lawshare to service their client when they can’t.

The scheme is completely free to join and provides a host of member benefits.

Please get in touch to join today, we’d love to hear from you!

This is what Lawshare had to say about the Annual Conference weekend.

“…Having a number of Sole Practitioners already as members of Lawshare, including the SPG’s current Chair, it seemed only natural to get involved and support the annual conference… and what an event it was! A superbly organised and insightful conference, bubbling with friendly and interesting people, at a sumptuous venue. It was great to see some familiar faces and lovely to meet so many new ones. We look forward to future events and adding value to SPG members with our free offering…” Peter Finkill-Coombs, Partner
