Good morning!
My name is Anna Hanak
I was born in Jastrzębie-Zdrój.
I graduated with a Master's Degree from the University of Silesia in Katowice, where I studied history from 2001 to 2006, majoring in archival science. As a student, I practiced in the archives in Katowice. I know German (including Gothic), English, Russian and Latin.
I gained professional experience working for German companies that deal with finding heirs in succession cases before European and American courts.
While working on German succession cases, I acquired knowledge of the German law of succession (Gesetzliche Erbfolge).
I handled all the cases comprehensively: from receiving the task, through searching, contacting the heirs and signing a contract with them, to the pay-out of the inheritance.
In addition to knowledge and professional experience, I also have the necessary qualities — patience, persistence, focus, and intuition — to solve the often complicated family cases.
