Debra Allen is a recognized genealogist whose lifelong passion for genealogy has strengthened her professional investigative work. Using advanced genealogical research methods combined with over four decades of investigative experience, she has been highly successful in locating heirs and verifying family relationships in complex probate matters.

At the request of attorneys, clients, and the court, she has identified rightful heirs, confirmed beneficiary status, and reconstructed detailed family histories for intestate estates and contested distributions. Her findings are carefully documented to support evidentiary standards and legal review.

For six years, Debra Allen served as a Confidential Intermediary appointed by the Arizona Supreme Court, authorized to open sealed adoption records and facilitate reunions between adoptees and biological families when both parties consented.

This role required strict adherence to court protocols, detailed historical research, and exceptional discretion. It was an emotional and deeply rewarding time in her career, during which she reunited thousands of adoptees and biological family members. These cases involved individuals adopted in Arizona, as well as families located in Hawaiʻi, across the United States, and internationally.

This extensive experience in sensitive family investigations directly strengthens our heir search and probate investigation services.
