Legal Deceased DNA Test

Why establish paternity for legal reasons after death?

  • Inheritance, wills & probate: verifying paternity ensures that the child is recognised as the legal heir to their father’s estate (where the man is confirmed to be the biological father)
  • Access to additional benefits: confirmation of paternity may also be necessary to access insurance payments and other financial entitlements linked to the deceased
  • Changes to official documents: once paternity is confirmed using a legal paternity test, this means that the father can be recognised on the child’s birth certificate. This can have lasting effects, particularly if it impacts future legal decisions regarding the child’s rights

All DNA testing is performed in the UK at a state-of-the-art UKAS-accredited laboratory.

Paternity testing methods after death

Once the alleged father has passed away, the process of confirming paternity becomes a little more complex due to the lack of direct DNA samples from the deceased, however, there are several DNA testing methods we can use to verify paternity, without using a traditional cheek (buccal) swab sample from the alleged father.

For a DNA test to be valid in a court of law the test must be performed by a professional and a strict chain of custody must be maintained.
