Authority and access
Confirm who may instruct the work and which sources can lawfully be examined.
WHO WE SERVE
Trace the digital records behind an estate dispute.
Help estate litigation lawyers examine authorized communications, document provenance and chronology across relevant devices and accounts.
YOUR PRIORITIES
Make the work relevant.
Start with the questions, dependencies and decisions specific to your situation.
Document provenance
Examine available versions, metadata and the context of relevant documents.
Communications and chronology
Bring related exchanges and digital events into an understandable sequence.
01
Define the records and the authority.
Identify relevant devices, accounts, documents and participants with counsel. Access to a deceased person’s or another party’s data requires appropriate authority; technical feasibility is assessed rather than assumed.
02
Place document history in context.
Examine available communications, versions and metadata to help explain where records came from and when relevant events occurred. Document the limits of timestamps and attribution. Technical findings do not themselves establish testamentary capacity, undue influence or a document’s legal validity.
