DNA evidence is becoming an increasingly popular means of resolving probate disputes. With people leaving larger amounts of money in their wills and the levels of relationships breaking up, the number of complex probate disputes has risen sharply - DNA analysis provides an excellent way of identifying family relationships.
Standard DNA Paternity or Maternity testing usually involves testing mouth swab samples from the individuals to be tested. These samples are collected at sampling apppointments at GP surgeries. However in cases where one of the parties whose DNA requires analysis is deceased collecting the samples may not be as simple - Cellmark has extensive experience of dealing with these matters and can provide the information you require.
