We are also able to work with you on more complicated biological relationship testing e.g. in cases dealing with deceased individuals and in cases of disputed inheritances, for the purposes of wills and probate.
We arrange collection of DNA samples from the recently deceased and often work on other consented biological specimens too e.g. tissue and blood samples, including samples of a forensic nature.
We work with the coroners office, pathologist or other relevant authority who might be holding a suitable sample for the DNA test. We arrange for the consented release to us of the bodily sample and conduct a DNA test against family members as required. This might be for example, to establish if a person is the child of the deceased parent or full or half siblings or indeed to establish another form of biological relationship.
Exceptionally, we work with “forensic” samples from the deceased, such as for example, a toothbrush or hair brush. In these cases, we will be working with you and your client to establish the chain of custody and if in fact, any other individual could have accessed (touched) the item.
More often than not these type of DNA testing cases require an in-depth discussion with one of our experienced advisors to discuss the best way forward for your client.
