Case study·Tanzania·Firms & fiduciaries
Field research and oral history corroborated a disputed family relationship for a probate matter.
Outcome
Relationship confirmed with corroborating evidence.
A contested inheritance turned on a single question: was the claimed relationship real? Documentary evidence alone was inconclusive, and the matter could not move forward without something more.
Where paper ends, people remember
We combined what records existed with oral testimony gathered carefully in the community — recording who was speaking, what they had witnessed first-hand, and how each account squared with the others. Corroboration, not a single voice, was the standard.
The relationship was confirmed, with a documented basis the fiduciary could rely on — and a clear account of exactly how that conclusion was reached.
